There's a lot of this going on. I've seen a few YouTube shorts and stuff with similar themes.
None of you are wrong. If aliens invaded tomorrow, we would all still drag ourselves to our day jobs like, whelp, that's not the most fucked up thing that's happened this year....
Replace aliens with demons or whatever, the story is the same.
There's a particularly chilling Doctor Who episode where aliens took over the world a year ago, but have been telling everyone that it has been that way forever, and punishing those that publicly deny it. 99.9% of people simply go on repeating it and accepting it and just going about their days as normally as possible, despite everyone knowing it isn't really true.
Was that the Silence, or am I confusing the episode with another?
@miss_brainfart I think it was the Pyramid Monks? I should probably look it up.
