How would mankind handle an alien invasion ?

[jbondo]

Ironically, as I've said in the past, ET's wouldn't need to invade. They'd merely synthesize a virus 100 times more deadly than the current. Release it into our atmosphere where it would infect from the air, water and contact with others. Then they'd sit back and wait. Once the bulk of us were gone, they'd just modify the virus to kill off those who were immune to the initial wave. In fact, if they are advanced enough to travel here then I'm sure they could even put a mutation into the virus that causes it to dissolve or eat us after we die. They could then come down and not even have to clean up a mess. Of course, I'm sure plenty of "people" would help them anyway, by rioting, killing, burning and looting....much like now. But the destruction would cause a mess of sorts and all those cars sitting around. Once the novelty of driving the primitive earth machines wore off, they'd have to do quite a lot of recycling.

Thats how I would do it.

The only conceivable reason why aliens would want to invade Earth would be to destroy the dominant lifeform.   Which in turn they would only need to do if we were a threat to them.

But, aside from that, if they did indeed invade, human reaction would be a) to riot and loot shops of electrical goods and designer clothes and b) post endless posts on social media blaming it all on their political opponents and bemoaning that IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!

 

[XenoFish]

Currently we Xenofishian's have no interest in invading this planet. I mean we can hop, skip, and jump around the multiverse pretty easy and resources for what we need are abundant. This place is more a....zoo to us. 

[Sir Smoke aLot]

That might do it, as seen in many SF stories. Corona wasn't bad enough to unite people but brutal and devastating alien attack might force changes. 

Regardless of world view everyone wants to keep breathing.

[SKINWALKER19]

David Wilcock via his DivineCosmos.com channel again stated on his latest upload that a false ET invasion is a tactic being reserved for use on the US populous via the DeepState . David Icke has also stated the same narrative.

Before  the lambasting of both individuals begins , why has YouTube taken down Ickes  channel that had hundreds of hours of content on many different subject matter , spouting  alternative Covid 19 narratives obviously , freedom of thought isn’t allowed on YouTube obviously.

Regarding Wilcock , he and his wife supply meditation on the channel and his books are NewYork Times best sellers , someone obviously takes him seriously enough to warrant purchasing the books .

The Industrial Military Complex has technology in the skies around the globe to convince a docile public that they are witnessing ET craft for sure ...........go figure !

If you look at the number of films about aliens, we expose them as predatory conquerors, drinking blood, killing or injecting their embryos into our bodies. And films are a projection of our evil thoughts. With such films, I would not fly here either, because who would like it if they put you up as monsters?

I don't believe that at all.   Movies are made to make money.   

How about Close Encounters?  ET?  Many other movies that are not "evil".  

I think it all depends on the circumstances.   Since you like the movie references, Independence Day.  We would be extremely curious and friendly until they got violent.

The movie 'The Fifth Wave' is a similar scenario, although, on top of using a virus the aliens in that use tidal waves, earthquakes, etc..as well. Still, in my estimation, a virus is all that's needed.

This is just one of the first ones where they were shown friendly and then the militants went and ruined everything.

Such films form the stereotype of the enemy because people come up with the idea that they are initially conquerors and impose this idea in us, which means that we transfer our aggressive desires to other even extraterrestrial beings.

The Universe is a completely different level. There is harmony and not such destructive thoughts. Robert Monroe wrote in his book that it’s hard for sensitive aliens on our earth because the mental noise and disorder in people's heads creates such an impenetrable wall around the planet that it’s hard to break through here but their consciousness is so great compared to us that it doesn’t occur to them to kill and conquer someone.We do not seek to conquer ants to rule over them.
Because aliens generally have different tasks.

I found this one by Seth Shostak, American astronomer and author, quite interesting... He is currently the senior astronomer for the SETI institute .

From your link:
But of course, for an intelligent species with technology capable of interstellar travel, predation is oh-so Stone Age. Even today, humans (who are a long way from being able to make sporting trips to other star systems) don't rely on predation much. We farm our food, and soon we'll manufacture it. Killing just for the fun of it, as the Predators do, is no longer considered socially acceptable in most circles.

People like fights, therefore such films are popular but film producers should not follow the crowd, they should show films where a person’s nobility is shown, his moral and spiritual qualities then people take an example and try to behave in life as well.

But if throwing fights and horrors with an ax into society, then society will pick it up and increase crime and mental deviations ..

Mankind can't even handle a common fight against coronavirus... i don't really fancy our chances against any intergalactic invading force. We're toast!

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

Why would anyone want to invade? There are no unique resources (unless stupidity is a resource) to be found here that is not found in abundance in other parts of the solar system.

Wrong! Fake news! Obamas fault,

Trump did a very quick, early epic response to covid19 saving many lives and he would do just as bigly great if Martians invaded, he would call out the military and while hiding in his basement tear gas those evil aliens back to whatever intergalactic ghetto they came out of.

That's the equivalent of saying that violent video games cause violence in kids who play them. 

You can't say that if we watch movies where 2 alien species hunt and kill each other all over our planet, we, as a society, will "pick it up"...

Just not true

 

EDIT: 

I think it would have been handled very poorly, the invasion I mean, just as the global pandemic( be it artificially induced or not) was handled poorly. Years will pass and we will still feel the repercussions of the past year

In the USA we would give em voting rights, drivers licenses and welfare benefits 

[toast]

In Germany: a pair (1 male, 1 female) of police officers would stop the vehicle and ask the pilot to put on a face mask first. In case the alienz have >1 nose, the officers would make an exception because the are no EU certified masks for people with more than one nose. After that, the officers would ask the pilot/driver for the pilot/driver licence, the ID cards of all crew members and the vehicle documents. In adition, the driver/pilot have to show the onboard first aid kit, the warning triangle and the 2 warning vest.

As the officers will do a short technical inspection of the vehicle as well, the driver/pilot of the vehicle would be fined with 25€ as the licence plate lighting isnt in compliance to EU guidelines. After this procedure, the police officers would ask the alienz if its their first visit to Germany, they would wish them a pleasant stay, would recommed nice places of interest to visit (Brandenburg Gate, Schloß Neuschwanenstein, city of Hamburg) and a nice Pizzeria nearby ("Pizzeria Inferno, Friedrich Schiller Strasse 42, its only a few blocks away").

Well if Signs is any indication, all we need to do is relocate to areas near water.

How would mankind handle an alien invasion ?

I always thought this was an odd question as I would assume aliens that would be here would be advanced beyond our comprehension. It would be similar to asking how chimpanzees would handle human destruction of their forest. The answer is the aliens like human have generally benign intentions to other species.

[Trelane]

When using the word "invasion" it implies a violent act of aggression. SO it stands to reason that any act by an advanced extra terrestrial species would likely mean our extinction rather quickly.

You people never disappoint

Have you not seen that bit of film where the orangutan charges the huge digging machine?  He certainly seemed annoyed enough to retaliate.

Oh I agree with that. My point was that if the human community really wanted to get serious, the orangutans would not have a chance in a war. In like ways, humans would not have a chance in any serious war with aliens with advanced technology.

Orangutans and humans only exist because of the benign respectful intellect of the more advanced species.
