RE: The Zombie, and its connection to the human psyche
What an awesome dissertation on the correlation between zombie movies and political-economic systems.
If we seek to find what people's fixations are in regard to zombie apocalypses (or any apocalypses) we can see that most people secretly wish for an apocalyptic scenario to break them free from the forced obligations of this system's economic slavery.
The zombie element added into the doomsday scenario gives justifiable permission to brutally kill at will without guilt or ramification as a means of survival.
Thanks for a thought-provoking piece! Great artwork too!
Blissful blessings and smiles

A very good point you are making! I could probably write a whole book on the topic so it was actually hard keeping the article focused and avoiding jumping into too many areas.
Definitely agree with you there. I think it gives a lot of alpha males the opportunity to step into a fantasy where a murderous rage is all that is needed to "fix" society and be the hero.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my article!
Thanks mate.
If I was to further the point, people are attracted to the zombie apocalypse for permission to be violent because our collect society has centuries of built up frustration and they want to vent and express their rage guilt free.
If we lived in a more equitable system fixations on such negativity would dissolve.
Blessings bro
Again in complete agreement with you. You might be interested in reading this week's article where the mythology discussion is focused on the story of Medusa and how that story was symbolic of an empire's conquest and the loss of identity for the victims.
