Would people set aside racism and bigotry and intolerance even after the threat is defeated?

Was Ozymandias right?

Yes. I have always thought this. But it doesn't have to be a threat. I think simply meeting aliens would do it. Once we know aliens exist it would change the world

People on the left would want the aliens to have free health care, human rights, & the ability to vote. I imagine ALM groups forming as well and people picking aliens over humans.

When Japan got hit by a tsunami people were glad it happened because of Pearl Harbor. So no, a global threat would make people feel happy that certain countries are suffering.

God no, we hate each other far too much for that, if anything there'd be infighting over who gets to keep and reverse engineer the aliens technology first and if by chance aliens visit us and come in piece we'll learn all we can from them, then kill them and take their stuff for our own.

The difference is if an Alien fucks up, it's likely an accident, a demon willingly causes chaos and discord.

I used to think so, but not anymore.

Some would try to collude with the aliens against their Terrestrial enemies, or something similar. There would be a lot of backstabbing and betrayal among the humans. Sadly.

And a significant portion of the population would call it fake news and refuse to believe it even happened.
