Glenn: ‘The Walking Dead’ is a study in a post-apocalyptic world [Glenn Beck]
Glenn Beck.com ^ | March 24, 2015 | Wilson

What would happen if there was total economic collapse? Or an EMP? Or some other apocalyptic event? Glenn has been watching ‘The Walking Dead’ and sees it as a scarily accurate portrait of what life would be like if people had to fight to survive. There may not be zombies, but the rest isn’t too far off.

“If you watch it for pure entertainment, God bless you. I don’t know how do it. It must be nice to live in that world. I don’t live in that world. I’m taking notes,” Glenn said. “When it happens in real life, they won’t be walking around dummies just trying to stumble into you and gnaw at your arms…they have it easy compared to the way I think the world is going to break down.”

Glenn found the role that God played in the show to be really interesting. One of the main characters, Herschel Greene, brings faith to the center of the show and how it impacts the other characters. “He brings everybody together. And you can see how important God would be in that situation. A true belief in God, not a magical mystical thing,” Glenn said.

The series is not scarily accurate.

That is essentially what it is, and the main theme that I have always gotten from the show is that human beings are the most dangerous element of such a world.

Just as they are the most dangerous element of this world.

How many of us would move to remote Nevada or Montana if we could. Billionaire Turner has a large spread up in Montana, The Bushes have a 20,000 acre spread in Uruguay, the Rockef ... oh, never mind.

True enough.

Its also clear that leadership can be very dangerous as well.

The zombies are merely the background that fill the show. A constant threat. It’s the human element without the veneer of civilization to regulate it that’s unpredictable and the ever evolving group dynamic that makes the show fascinating to watch.

The Walking Dead is an example of a worst-case scenario.
Therefore it is sometimes accurate, but more often way off.

+1.
That is why firearms are so necessary: a well-armed society is a polite society.

No, FALLOUT is the Post-Apocalyptic World.

Because War, War Never Changes.

Beck is just another nutty liberal-tarian and I’m surprised anyone still listens to him.

Beck has a point. The Democrats and liberals are going to get a lot of people killed.

Beck can be such a self-important prig.

The series is scarily accurate if what is portrayed played out exactly as portrayed.

He was a total Obama voter.

The rest of the group were probably not, except maybe Glenn and Maggie. But they've come around.
