It's funny you mention zombies because most recent zombie media has been about how commercialism lead directly to a worldwide virus that could've been stopped easily if it weren't for people being politically motivated into spreading it out of stupidity. But at least that would never happen in real

life... A third time... Maybe.

I don't think I've watched any since the pandemic started but I always found The Walking Dead-era zombie stories to be a "libertarian" fantasy about "what if a bunch of dirty wrong-colour people came to take your stuff... but you were ALLOWED to drive round in a 4x4 shooting them?"
