yes that’s the fantasy, that folks can hunker down and survive the onslaught.
but we’re already zombies, and they’ll shoot you just as quick. The zombie horde is a bourgeois representation of class consciousness tbh.
Zombies of the world unite, we have nothing to eat but their brains
are they dead though? Like they’re still animated, they’re still able to walk, talk, eat (sleep?).
Zombies deserve rights too.
yes of course if there were a real life real undead apocalypse or whatever sure go help your neighbours and form a militia, but that’s not going to happen. We already have the undead, the dehumanised, the poor and the hungry and homeless. Only during their revolt will we be forced to look at them
I know this sounds dickish, but it really depends on definitions. Their reproduction method alone raises some fascinating questions about the nature of life.
So what you are getting at is the horror movie thing where the “monster” represents a social fear, and the zombie represents the social fear of the masses and their power? That’s cool af tbh

That’s not wrong, but I truly think if faced with zombies that solidarity with the living is a top priority.

nah that’s vampires, totally different set of fears and stereotypes there.
Zombies are the people tbh, manifested as an inevitable, inescapable, and most of all visible act of rebellion and recognition.
Idk, we’re talking fantasy here so it’s all for naught, but I’m siding with the zombies ngl
