I always wondered why zombie films depicted human violence

And now I get it

I naively thought, people would band together and help each other and that all the violence was exaggerated.

But now it’s proved, that one person acting up, could potentially encourage others and then it’s everyone for themselves.

Sad really

We're a selfish, violent species. When the shif it'll always been everyone for themselves.

Reginabambina · 16/03/2020 14:41

Yes, that’s incredibly naive.

PhilCornwall1 · 16/03/2020 14:43

Just wait until so called "lockdown" happens, then watch it all kick off.

Heatherjayne1972 · 16/03/2020 14:45

No. We’re a violent species especially when cornered or threatened
There’s numerous studies done on human behaviour in a stressful situation

This is a nation who saw a riot over a teddy in the bear factory not so long back
A friend of mine got smacked in the head over the last bottle of hand sanitizer a few days ago

It’s going to get very interesting when/if lockdown happens

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 16/03/2020 14:48

Have you never seen the Purge? That will be the night before lockdown takes effect.

I remember binge watching The Walking Dead and it didn't take long to cotton on that it had fuck all to do with zombies and I'm usually rubbish at reading between the lines!

Soubriquet · 16/03/2020 15:21

Yeah I’ve seen the purge

I would be one who would building themselves a safety hole and hiding in it with my family all night

I have no interest in going out and hurting anyone

Give it a couple of years COVID 19 The Movie will be released. BoJo (played by Christ knows who) will save the world and it will turn out that Dominic Cummings is the evil bastard who had a test tube full of it and released it on a holiday in China when buying a bags of bats in the local market.

My personal vote would be Bob from the minions or Susan Boyle Grin

Soubriquet · 16/03/2020 15:44

I’m hoping people will start calming down a bit now

I think the sudden rush was partly due to the fact most people got paid on Friday.

So we shall see what happens now

Well the army is on standby... why the army and not doctors? to handle potential civil unrest. yay!

PhilCornwall1 · 16/03/2020 15:55

@Sunshinesky1981 good choice!!

The twist at the end of the movie will be BoJo running off into the sunset with Diane Abbot because he found out that Carrie has been having an affair with Corbyn.
