    I still can believe the world to rally together when it means to kill something.

    The enemy must be simple though. Too complicated or invisible or something and the conspiracy nuts will take over.

      You wouldn’t be able to see the aliens. The best you would be able to do is get blurry pictures of their ships from telescopes if you’re lucky. Conspiracy nuts would do fine.

        Any civilization able to get to us, would be advanced enough that a carrier task group bombing the uncontacted people of the north sentinel islands would be a fair fight in comparison.
        We would see a blur in our telescopes followed by death or whatever they want to do to us.

          There are so many nightmare situations you can imagine.

          A single missile loaded up with a highly contagious 100% fatal pathogen, use drones with infrared to pick off the remaining hermits.

          Just drones. Self-replicating killing machines that know all the human tricks.

          Neutrino bombs, a few million of them.

          A horrible digging machine just digs and releases all that poisons stuff from under us. We all suffocate.

          Sunblocker, apply for 30 years. The few remaining humans living in cannibalism around geothermal vents get nuked from orbit.

          Giant space mirrors. Fry us.

      Too complicated or invisible or…

      Bing bing bing!

      Internal Combustion Engine? Nuclear Bomb? SCIENCE, praise be.

      Invisible / long term & murky phenomena? JUST YOUR OPINION, man, I trust Facebook and WhatsApp forwards on this one.
