unity-2
Explanation
This comic features aliens arriving on Earth to offer humanity the path to unity, promising that if humans can unify, they will no longer need to destroy themselves. When humans eagerly ask to be taught, the aliens explain there is nothing to teach -- humans already have the capacity for unity but haven't achieved it yet.
The comic then explains why: humans can only unify when they believe they have a common enemy, but because of deep divisions around gender, race, religion, and other identity categories, they cannot unite against their real shared problems. The aliens offer a solution -- they will act as the common enemy, presenting a comically exhaustive list of offensive stereotypes, conspiracy theories, and insults designed to offend every group equally. In the final panel, a human objects that the aliens "don't look scary," undermining the entire plan.
The satire targets humanity's inability to cooperate without an external threat, and the further irony that even a perfectly designed universal enemy might fail because humans would find reasons to dismiss it too.
