Horde of Zombies

The only true zombie is a George Romero zombie. Other movies have zombies that run and are more menacing. But Romero nailed it with his slow moving dimwitted creatures. It is important that zombies follow the Romero rules which are basically that they can't move fast, are incredibly stupid, and are killed with a shot to the head or decapitation.

Zombies are virtually harmless alone. Because they are stupid and move slowly, killing one is relatively easy. Zombies become dangerous in large numbers. It is the sheer power of numbers that makes them such a horror. Zombies in a vast horde represent a terror that is in us all. It is us as individuals against the mob. If you ever wonder if the world could ever be like the one in the zombie movies, stop wondering. You are in it.

Zombie movies are just parables about the reality that the majority is often detrimental to the minority or the individual. Opinion polls and the like show us that most people in the USA are blithering fucking idiots. They believe in God, assorted conspiracy theories, and want a full range of government services without having to pay for them. The population is a shit-for-brains horde of retards. Alone, they are harmless. United, they are bringing this country to its knees.

Its fun to blame the politicians, but the real blame lies with the people who put them in office. Honest and intelligent leaders have no chance. The world is ruled by idiots not because they are smart but because they outnumber the smart. This is the lesson of those zombie films. There are not enough bullets to the head to cure this epidemic of ignorance.

In the zombie movies, the uninfected retreat. They simply wish to survive. They don't want to be zombies. So, they run and hide. Or, they fight until the numbers become too large. The same thing happens in real life. You have pockets of intelligence and decency, but these people are outnumbered. So, they exist in their separate worlds.

There are no happy endings in the zombie movies. The good ones like those by George Romero make you think. There comes a point in time in every intelligent person's life when they turn from fighting the horde to simply wanting to escape it. They know they are on the losing side of an unwinnable battle. Happiness is just trying not to be a zombie.

Some will argue that there is a glimmer of hope for the zombies. Idiots can learn. They can become educated. They can be like the Big Daddy Zombie in Land of the Dead who showed signs of intelligence by using tools and thinking about future goals.



The problem with this idea is that it misses the point. A clever zombie is still a zombie. They are little more than trained animals. Their stupidity is incorrigible. This would be the Tea Party fool who wants the government to keep their hands off Medicare. These would be the leftards and fasctards who run with their ignorance of economics and domestic and foreign policy.

Stupid people are condemned to tyranny, but it isn't tyranny to them. Tyranny for them begins when the government check ends. Then, the revolt begins. The horde breaks out and tries to devour all it can get its hands on. True freedom begins in the aftermath when it all collapses. It always comes to collapse. Fools know no other teacher than reality.
