  • Ultimately, I think leftist thought might be the most immune to the culture thought of aliens deciding to show themselves (or us finding them). Liberals would crash the market instantly and turn on each other on an international level (Every one of them would want THEIR nation to be first contact) and fascists would use it to justify a one world fascist government. Religious but philosophically dead freaks would break down mentally (IE most american christians simply are not ready for the idea of intelligent life off world).

    Aliens don’t inherently mean anything to leftist ideas. Sure a overall “good” future leftist government(s) could botch contact real bad. But if Lenin knew there were little green men 10 million light years away that couldn’t even talk to us, would it have changed anything?

    Ultimately, aliens existing doesn’t mean anything to the material conditions on earth, unless they can directly effect us (IE, give us tech, destroy us, etc etc). Hell even if we learned that the aliens were Space Hitler, it still wouldn’t mean much. It’d be concerning, and liberals and fash would use it to say we should follow their lead, but it’d be pretty irrelevant to humans by itself (unless they’re in orbit but that’d be another concern).
