Politics and other Ramblings of the insane

Human nature, both our greatest strength and our most critical weakness. As soon as the Thargoids attacked in mass, and are now in open conflict with humans in three nebulae. I readied the "Archangel" and her crew and we jumped the carrier into one of the affected systems to begin both rescue and combat operations.
My desire to help, part of my human nature is something that I see as one of my greatest strengths. Without hesitation, we are here to help our fellow humans But as I sit here eating my dinner, physically tired, mentally exhausted. I spoon another bite of the stew into my mouth, I hear the news feed and look up to see the issues playing out just one jump away in the bubble. Here we are, facing what I believe is simply a probing force, a recon of sorts, to see how we respond. In preparation for a much larger attack, and what are our so called "Leaders" doing? they are all about grabbing power. Increased surveillance in the Federation. Heavy political fighting in the Alliance and none of these idiots seems to care that the destruction of our species could be at our doorstep!!
Why are we not working as one species?, stop dividing us up into groups and factions. Treat everyone with respect and as an equal and all of this infighting among our race, the human race can stop. If you don't agree with how someone thinks, or believes, then be an adult about it and move on with your own life. Unless someone is directly affecting yours or the public's safety, they should be left alone to to what they want within our laws.
But no, we squabble and fight and kill each other because one person wants power over others, or over everybody. It's just stupid. Gather yourselves, act like mature human beings and focus on the things that really matter. We have a hostile alien species with far superior technology that we have no idea of their size and strength. They have moved into the core systems before, and what if we are only seeing the smallest portion of their forces? We have only seen the scouts and interceptor variants of their ships. What if these are the smallest and weakest of their fleet. What if they have capital class vessels? What if they show up with millions of ships, all at once?
We need to collectively pull our heads out of our butts as a species and realize the real threat here? It's not what asshole in in charge of what group of people and how they can bend them to their will. It's about taking care of each other and making sure we survive this vast, very unforgiving galaxy we call home.
I guess I needed to get that off of my chest. I can't stand people messing with other people for no reason. It's part of why counter piracy appealed to me during my time in the Federal Security Service.
I need some sleep, they on to some rescue flights tomorrow. There are millions still needing to be evacuated.
But human nature will not subside, and despite the threat to the whole human race, the insane idiosyncrasies of our species will have us continuing to rob, exploit and murder each other until another species wipes us out of existence.
