It’s about the only socially acceptable way to express our hidden desires for a total reboot of our culture from the ground up, especially in terms of shooting the welfare class, that won’t put you on a federal watchlist or get you picketed.

Only needs a twitterfeed, and they’ll bring their own drums – but no toilet paper.

Why do we like zombies? There’s no guilt in killing them. It’s that simple. They are an abomination, therefore mercy is no longer an option (unless you subscribe to the Warm Bodies’ version of zombification).

Wishful thinking? One massive reboot.

Zombies represent creature that look like us, but are not, and offer a horrific outcome for our naivete and trust. All you can do is kill ‘em.

On either side, it’s a view of the political Babel of our times. We think it’s perfect to describe the mindless “libtards”. They think it describes we troglodyte cons.

As such it shows a growing universal doubt in liberal talk and that liberals lie about their capacity for violence. And perhaps a growing conviction that the Gods of the Copybook Headings aren’t so far away.

Just sayin’ the traditional massive trauma to the noggin’ is the way to deal with your zombie menace, on the retail level….

If you have several hundred, sure go for the 6cm or 12 cm mortar to blast’em apart, and THEN follow-up with petrol to deal with the (relatively)immobile remains.
