I don't understand the huge craze. If you look around the internet, there are so many people who claim that they would like to have a zombie apocalypse. I don't believe it to be possible, but if it were to every happen, it would be horrifying. Imagine a world where a good amount of the population is dead, and you are unable to rest without the thought of dying.

Social outcasts aren't exactly uncommon on the internet, and you already know what I have to say regarding the average person's capability of experiencing empathy to any significant degree.


Then we would live as most other animals do, and some would find this liberating.

Personally, though I would not claim a preference for a zombie apocalypse (as I would not find thrill from such a situation even in the form of escapist fantasy), I wouldn't mind it terribly either. It is simply exchanging one set of hardships for another; those hardships associated with our modern society with its problems of doubting one's own worth, seeking one's purpose and place in the world, and dealing with slow-killing afflictions of a biological/mental/"spiritual" nature (e.g., cancer/depression/existential crises) are no less horrifying than the purer, more basal struggles of survival in an empty world. Many people would trade their current problems with those problems of living through a zombie apocalypse.
