why is the plot in apocalypse series always that everyone is aginst everyone? that all people need to arm themselves because everyone wants to kill each other?
in real life scenarios of extreme situations, in almost every case humans would stick together and show altruistic behaviour, share everything because that is the only way to survive. but in fiction it is always the opposite(?).
why is it like that? what do you think?
It establish and reinforce “human nature” narrations propagated and needed by capitalism.
It’s also low hanging fruit for bad writing drama. Lowest of the low level is zombie apocalypse scenario.
So mich this!!! You really distilled it!
