And it said "stop sending out signals. They will hear you"

Blame the political party they dislike and perhaps be racist.

Mostly we'd ignore it, because it's too inconvenient. But it wouldn't stop cropping up in the news every now and then. At least until They come.

Humans arent very good at heeding warnings if theyre inconvenient.

remember at the height of the Covid pandemic, when we thought there were signs of alien activity, but with all of the other crazy stuff going on, a lot of people were remarkably cavalier about it.

A large chunk of humanity would either ignore it, deny it, or insist its fake.

Knowing us, we will send a louder signal asking "WHOOO???!!"

I'd wonder how they learned English.

But yeah it would be largely declared fake

Even conspiracy theorists would Dale Gribble themselves into claiming it's a cover for something else

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

US Republicans would be worse than fucking useless. Like tens of millions of Dr. Smiths from the old Lost in Space show, and that would be a best case.

The message would probably be sent in mathematical language. I think that is how we expect to communicate at first at least, with an alien civilization

Statement is too vague to be of any use. Who is sending it? Who is they? Why don't we want "them" to hear?

Could be a violent race of nomadic space numbats that chase radio waves and consume entire civilizations.

Could just be a rival planet's government wants to make first contact with us but the bleedin spoonheads think the Sol system is too close to their quadrant and don't want Federation territory getting closer, so they fake a message from a concerned stranger to spook us.

Could just be a really annoying fat fuck that won't shut the hell up and the message just wants to let us know that we're gonna have to deal with "that guy" if he notices us

One political party would heed the message, the other wouldn't, and eventually a message would get sent just to piss people off in an election year.
