I only care about aliens if they’re going to use their tech to fix our climate. Otherwise they can fuck off.
I mean, any contact will shift the me vs them mentality, hopefully, from country vs country to world vs world.
True. I wasn’t debating that, just saying if they’re going to sit back and watch us boil alive, they’re useless and not worth considering. We’ve got existential problems.
e: I see what you’re saying – maybe if we learnt we’re not the centre of the universe we’d come together. I guess I’m a cynic and I don’t think that would happen. We’d more likely enter new holy wars, with the major religions disrupting society again. Meanwhile, we’d still boil alive.
Probably lol
Climate, real estate, price gouging, enshittification, health care, voter suppression… There’s an awful lot to distract us from.
I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Except obviously the pentagon needs some cash to deal with the aliens.
I prefer to maintain an open mind. So while i dont trust government not to use “aliens!” as propaganda. I do actively listen when officials are speaking under oath.
The way I understood what they said. if the military is unable to cooperate and providing more information Then they will move to try strip the military of funds going to those unaccounted projects. (Congress did mention about 60% of military budget going unaccounted)
After all the legal risks for the whistleblowers are huge and if they don’t uphold those when they cant maintain the lie then there basically saying making insane claims under oath is ok.
Space Force, baby! The newest and most well respected branch of the military!
Well sure, but the Pentagon can get as much money as it wants whenever it wants. There’s no need to make up shit about aliums.
This is just for fun.
This kind of meme is disheartening seeing on Lemmy, that’s supposed to be full of open minded people. And I write that as someone who saw a real UFO in 1990 in Greece, together with others. The tech in 1990 was not there for the US to create a silent, gravity-defying, appearing and disappearing in-front-of-our-eyes vehicle. So this meme, AND the comments from the other lemmy posts in the last 2 days about the recent ufo events are rather insulting to me. The phenomenon is real.
Edit: Also, I don’t understand the downvotes! You downvote anything you find going against your grain? My experience is my experience and it’s equally as valid!
Control the airwaves Fuel the reaction Use every weapon of mass-distraction Turn active people into passive consumers Feed 'em bogus polls and harebrained rumours
The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…
Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.
The thing I think a lot of people miss is that, if I’m not mistaken, due to his position he has to report on what he was told. It doesn’t matter if it sounds insane or he doesn’t have proof; his job is to tell Congress what he was told during his investigations. If he was told that it’s aliens, then that’s what he has to tell Congress.
I want to believe it’s aliens. I think that’d be pretty cool. However, my speculation is that he was given false information by the military to try to make him sound nuts and get Congress off their backs. Either that or he wasn’t given the full picture. Just because something is non-human doesn’t mean it’s alien in origin. It could be unmanned drones that had mice, monkeys or dogs in them to test g-forces (not sure why you couldn’t use a dummy in this day and age, but that’s beside the point). It could be the result of some kind of experiment to use biological matter instead of silicon and wiring. It could be aliens. There still isn’t enough information for a definitive conclusion except that the US has had unidentified objects flying through controlled aerospace unimpeded.
Wow the US is really paying people to shitpost on Lemmy as part of their coverup. Someone must be really worried about the AOC and Matt Gaetz dream team coming for their ass.
