Aliens, Kim Jong-Un, Putin, Trump-Biden Drama, and the War of Stupidity: “Earth’s Galactic Comedy of Errors in 2024

Imagine this: A UFO filled with baffled aliens floating above Earth in 2024.

They’ve been watching us with their advanced-looking devices, and if they had eyeballs, they’d be rolling them hard into the backs of their green heads.

Their first point of confusion? Maybe it’s Trump’s hair or America’s current leader reading from the Teleprompter jacked up on his amphetamines like Hitler, or it could be that Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin are now BFFs ( best friends forever).

If you’re thinking, “That sounds like the new plot of Team America part 2: World Gone to Hell,” you’re not far off.

Except this isn’t satire. It’s just another day on Earth.

The aliens have been scratching their bulbous heads, trying to understand why we humans are still stuck in the ancient pastime of killing each other.

It’s 2024, and frack me, for Zog’s sake!

You’d think we’d be more focused on, oh, I don’t know, colonizing Mars, getting the planet healthy, curing diseases, or at least figuring out how to make a decent cup of coffee on those godforsaken Keurigs. But nope, we’re all still playing Risk with real lives and real countries.

Let’s rewind. These extraterrestrial visitors have done their homework. They’ve binge-watched all the seasons of Earth’s Greatest Hits: wars, genocides, and revolutions. They thought we’d moved past this nonsense. After all, didn’t we figure out that the Cold War was a bad idea? Did no one pay attention during World War I and II? Afghanistan? Apparently not. Here we are, with Kim Jong-Un, the third-generation dictator straight out of a James Bond villain playbook, deciding to back Putin’s ambition in Ukraine. The aliens can’t decide if this is a strategic alliance or just a cosmic-level joke we’re playing on ourselves.

In the alien briefing room (think Star Wars meets IKEA), they’re trying to make sense of human priorities. There’s Zorg, the lead investigator, who looks like he’s had one too many space espressos. He’s ranting, “We gave them brains to solve problems, and they use them to make bombs! They’re like toddlers with flamethrowers!” Meanwhile, Xylox, who’s in charge of Earth’s cultural studies, is showing clips from Team America. “Look, it’s all there! We knew they were nuts, but this? This is beyond parody!”

In their report back to the Galactic Council, the aliens summarize Earth as a “galactic comedy of errors.” They highlight our persistent obsession with petty squabbles instead of focusing on worthwhile pursuits. Imagine if we poured the resources from the defense budget into space exploration or renewable energy. But no, we’d rather see who can build the biggest stick and whack each other with it. Spoiler alert: the aliens are not impressed, and humanity is destined for the carbon recycle bin.

The icing on the interstellar cake? Despite all this technological advancement, political wrangling, and high-stakes drama, humanity hasn’t moved beyond the concept of tribal warfare. We’re still stuck in a loop where the loudest, angriest guy with the biggest guns gets to call the shots. And now, with Kim cheering on Putin, it’s like we’ve decided to make our political strategies based on a Team America script. If only the world’s leaders could hear the aliens’ laughter echoing through the cosmos.

Here’s the kicker: The aliens decide they’re not going to vaporize us or take over the planet. Why? because they’re too busy laughing at our absurdity. Oh, and the galactic counsel has voted down humanity in favor of the recycle bin.

They can’t believe we’re still this dumb. Instead, they’re broadcasting Earth’s greatest hits to the rest of the galaxy as a cautionary tale of what happens when a species evolves more firepower than sense and sprinkles some AI gone wild on top, courtesy of Sam Altman’s tech sandbox.

So here’s to 2024, the year that made the galaxy laugh. Maybe one day, we’ll stop turning our planet into a real-life dark comedy and start using our collective brains for something that doesn’t involve blowing each other up. Until then, the aliens will be watching, popcorn in hand, waiting to see what kind of nonsense we come up with next before the big human waste management truck pulls up to stuff us all inside.

Cue the intergalactic facepalm.

Author’s note: Maybe I watched too much SciFi as a kid but it’s my genuine hope that this humorous rant of mine encourages some debate and conversation so we can appeal the mass extinction event scheduled for us humans by the Galactic counsel or the wrath of the bearded dictator in the sky (insert religion of choice) that may be coming our way.
