It was a psyop.
The antifa-generation wants to live in Walking Dead land.
Zombie movies got me psyched for a “pandemic”...blowing off heads of zombies seemed like a formidable challenge.
“The Scouts’ Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” will prepare you. Grossly funny. Chloris Leachman as a cat lady and more!

“It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder. A widespread investigation of reports from funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead are coming back to life and seeking human victims. It’s hard for us here to believe what we’re reporting to you, but it does seem to be a fact.”
We basically live in the first Mad Max movie, but with two important differences: 1) we have relatively cheap gasoline, at least for now, 2) the population portrayed in that movie was homogeneous, whereas we have a great deal of diversity. The decay of the formerly high trust society and the crumbling institutions are spot on. My takeaway is more ammo.
As for strict zombie movies, I would be hard pressed to name one that I don’t love. Zombieland is awesome because it’s fun. I can’t turn away from The Omega Man if it’s on.
The old zombie movies were to scare your date into pulling closer.
Telling you all the Zombie troof.
Rule #1
Cardio
The first ones to go were the fatties, lol
The latter actually prepared many people for stuff that came true (Rogue intelligence agency leaders, ruthless Chicoms, and a Black POTUS, for example).
The dead used to be happy coming back just to vote, now they want to eat your brains...
I fear a tyrannical government more than a seasonal flu or zombies.
I have often reflected that many are actually enjoying the apocalyptic lockdown scenario. It’s LARPing for them. They are getting satisfied by it.
There have been a rash of dystopian books and movies, all aimed at the younger millenials. Think Hunger Games, the Divergent and Purge books and movies.
My granddaughter, who is in her mid-20s, still thinks she is Katniss Everdene when she goes out to “peaceful protest” something. She is on a mission - to what, she doesn’t know.
And she is not alone. Thankfully she draws the line at Antifa.
The CDC has a zombie preparedness program. Humorous, yet point is if you’re ready for zombies you’re ready for anything.

What a crock! I don’t watch zombie or comic book movies.
I saw some meme awhile ago.
“What I thought my Apocalypse outfit would look like”: And shows an image of a gal in a slim black body suit with armor, swords, pistol, etc.
“What it really looks like”: Sweat pants, frumpy shirt and fuzzy slippers on the couch.
“I fear a tyrannical government more than a seasonal flu or zombies.”
One could argue that they are using Covid to turn us into zombies. Not thinking for ourselves, following the rest of the herd, mindless sheep. Covid allowing for mail-in ballots that were manipulated. But not to worry, the government will swoop in and take control of “the problem”.
I really enjoyed “The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks. (He wrote “World War Z”, wayyyy better than the movie.)
Guess it’s time to reread.
Who knew . (Although I reread 1984 in March.)
