Did we all collectively forget that far too many Americans were willing to spread a deadly illness, deny its existence, spread conspiracy shit about the vaccine, and host literal mask-not-allowed COVID parties, while people were dying as their lungs melted, just to oWn ThE LIbS?

Even the best military response can't defeat the collective willful stupidity of citizens.

Yes but viruses are unseen and can't be shot. A zombie can be seen and can be shot. I think those that didn't understand how to fight a virus or believe it was a thing at all would happily shoot a zombie.

let's be honest a bunch of them would go out and get bitten on purpose to own the libs and their fake zombie virus

Pre-2020, all zombie movies were goofy fiction. Now, I feel like they are best-case scenarios. People are fucking dumb as shit.

If you really want to drive that feeling home watch 'Don't Look Up'. It's a documentary on the incapacity for individual cognizance to overcome wilful ignorance and the very real cognitive limits of your average person.

I watched that and thought it was way too on the nose… then I heard it was written BEFORE all the pandemic and Trump shit happened. Wild!

Are you trying to infringe on my right to get my brains eaten by a zombie?? That sounds like commie talk to me. This is America, and if I want to become one of the undead, you can't stop me!
