      Yeah. I was just thinking about why zombies are so threatening. They represent the total collapse of the social order and a replacement of a large percent of the population of ordinary people with savage predators.

        It’s no coincidence that zombie dramas and video games became extremely popular in the USA right as people started feeling they were surrounded by hostile forces in a collapsing society with no one looking out for them.

      I like what I’ve heard around the Internet: “social contract”

      Violate that contract, agreements (and a lack of consequences) are null.

      Time to build some guillotines.
