As my college RA who suffered from an extreme fear of zombies once told us during one of his multiple zombie preparedness meetings:
Never try lighting zombies on fire, especially if you’re in the same building as them. You know what’s the only thing worse than a bunch of zombies shambling up the stairs towards you? A bunch of zombies on fire shambling up the stairs towards you.
You underestimate our ability to analyze every problem and solution, and then light both of them on fire.
Yeah, if you ever wonder how we got to this situation, the number of people who seriously prepare for zombie apocalypse and studying zombie movies for tips is non-zero. It’s a depressingly non-zero number.
I think liberals (and fascists, in pretty much the same way) are so alienated from reality that stories abd feels are the only thing they can engage with ever.

Except if destruction of the brain kills zombies, their heads would explode from the heat, probably within 5-10 minutes.
He was forgetting the most important step: you have to nail their feet to the floor before you light them up.
Um what?

Higher than the number who prep for fascism or probable local disasters!
Oof.
But one thing my sister’s partner said that stuck with me during the ramp-up to the pandemic about people refusing to take things seriously:

Unfortunate that they can’t engage critically.
They would not have liked the Humans vs Zombies events.
