After seeing how excited some folks got during COVID, that’s genuinely somewhat of a worry for me. Kind of like how lonely, young men can be sold on the idea of war, because they think they’ll finally be adored as a hero, you can just as well find preppers who think they’ll finally be adored, because they bought toilet paper before everyone else could.
In the case of COVID, it was thankfully a disappointment for the preppers, in that the best survival strategy was staying in your cushty home. That will be the case for the vast majority of infectious diseases. But I still bet someone out there had the intrusive thought that maybe they shouldn’t help reduce the spread of COVID, because you won’t be deemed a hero without a real crisis…
The worst part of a viral apocalypse is that it takes a fuckton of stupid, unobservant and selfish people to spread it irreparably before it’s noticed. The best part is that, in the West at least, we have witnessed an adequate amount of aforementioned morons who’d do just that in our universe
“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”
Strangely enough, those “simple farmers” are those who will avoid you because they need to get the work done.
Unless they happen to be on SocialMedia and the propaganda algorithm wants them to be conspiracy theorists.
Oh, if zombies are very slow-motion slow, blind & death, it takes at least 10 bites to infect you, and you basically have to help them move their jaw to actually bite you - we are stil not surviving the apocalypse.
We will however have to go to work through all if it.

On lemmy.ml they’d be arguing that the zombie should be supported because a zombie apocalypse will destroy US imperialism.
And in the US they would claim the zombie was made by China.
And that any evidence of the zombie eating brains is simply Western propaganda.
Like the girl in the comic, for example. The zombie didn’t eat her brain and she’s clearly very smart.
Probably a net benefit for the environment, too…
ah yes, ecofascism
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only motherfucker on the internet that doesn’t want humanity to die off.
What’s wrong with y’all?
Zombies are people too. Technically humanity “lives” on.
Protect zombie rights to eat, donate your brain and join the hord today!
A super-win for biodiversity, the last hail Mary that somehow unexpectedly worked.
I dunno. It’d be nice to mix things up a bit. Find a whole new set of things to worry about.
It would also be so much very a lot eco friendly.
