the thing is that climate denial is only really a thing because it's a problem for petrotraficantes, so they throw money at influencing public opinion by buying pundits and corrupt "scientists" and congressmen i can't think of a reason anybody would do that in case of alien invasion. cui bono?

people that know that aliens are attacking won't buy your anti-terrorist stuff i guess? anyone who thinks that an alien invasion is a false flag is the kind of person that would live in a bunker and post on infowars all day

syscall girl posted:what ol qwerty bastard said yeah but those kinds of crazies don't have the money for big media campaigns, which is what you need to do things like convince enough people that there is a global conspiracy by climate scientists. otherwise you just end up with the readership of infowars and they can't really influence much SynthOrange posted:Picked up the new Prophet series and I think I gave myself some kind of brain damage.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:the road's world bothered me with its inconsistencies. i'm not using spoiler tags for a oprah-featured best seller from eight years ago i guess there's still enough oxygen in the air for people to breathe, even if it slowly killing them. the book mentions how there's nothing to eat out in the open, the few times they find food is in cellars or underground bunkers. the rest seemed of them seem to have formed those cannibal cults and I guess they leave bodies which have been lying out for 8 years because it probably doesn't taste very good, and they've got "fresh" meat with them. i don't remember the living larder part sorry  . this is probably all wrong

this author that deals heavily in metaphor doesn't pay meticulous attention to detail about an apocalypse scenario that aligns with my own opinions based on little more than conjecture!!

not really a good omens spoiler but something that's only implied for most of the book iirc: Pestilence retired due to modern medicine and Pollution took over from him
