Zombie Apocalypse
The phrase “zombie apocalypse” is often used as a jokey term for emergency preparedness, which, if you ignore the “prepper lifestyle,” isn’t necessarily bad. It’s just that it’s always smelled a bit off to me, like it’s being used as a metaphor for “the good guys” hiding in a basement, fighting off people from a different race who want to consume your culture and turn you into them. The conservative fear of “White America” becoming multiracial America, except you don’t say race, so no one can complain, because you just said zombies.
