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

I wonder if I would go too far in the other direction and question whether or not shooting the zombies is necessary or if their life is precious and should have rights.

This is exactly what would happen, and they would be the exact same people that were throwing non mask covid parties. These people don't think, they are just against stuff for the whole purpose of being against stuff.

One of my (high level studies) classmate kept complaining about the government for not having a quick vaccine for covid, and as soon as the government started to give vaccines (FOR FREE), he started saying he didn't thrust it.

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!

One shitstain at my old job refused to mask and said crap to people who did. He got it and has to wear an adult diaper as a result. I pretended to care.

Nah those people would be great against the infected, not so great for literally anyone around them who doesnt do exactly as he was told.

"Well he didnt look right so I pulled my gun and told him to strip so I could check him for bites, he told me to fuck off and kept walking so I had to shoot him 7 times. I couldnt take the risk he was hiding a bite."

Those same people would be the first to pull a gun on the minimum wage clerk who asks them to present an up-to-date "I'm not a zombie" screening result.
