The zombie apocalypse has arrived.



The long-feared zombie apocalypse is already here, as evidenced by this video put together by Mark Dice and Luke Rudkowski from We Are Change.

The video sets a whole new milestone in capturing the astonishing “zombie logic” of Americans who proudly demonstrate the cognitive capacity of mindless zombies.

This video reveals an incredibly important psychological phenomenon that all readers need to understand, because this phenomenon is what drives our world.

Reason is an alien concept to most people.

They do not operate on it, they do not embrace it and they do not even recognize it.

The way people really make decisions in our world is as follows:

Step 1) Use social queues (peer pressure, authority figures, “official” sources, popular trends, etc.) to make a decision that conforms with the status quo. Follow the herd, in other words, and completely abandon reason, rational thought and independent thinking.

Step 2) After making the decision which has been spoon fed to you by others, then gin up a contrived internal justification for your decision. This is where the mind invents a “because” to justify the decision. For example: I’m voting for Hillary Clinton because she’s so transparent and refuses to allow foreign interests to influence her with money.

Importantly, the justification need not have a shred of truth to it. It only needs to seem like it sort, kinda, half-way makes sense. That’s sufficient for the “mind” of a zombie.

In a very real sense, we are now a “zombie nation” populated by the truly mindless. This is no longer hyperbole. It’s not a metaphor. They really are mindless. Their consciousness has been deactivated or damaged beyond recognition, and they now exist to play out whatever roles are handed to them by the propaganda machine.

A democracy dominated by zombies isn’t a democracy at all: it’s an illusion of democracy that’s actually run by elite puppet-masters who specialize in creating the illusion of choice. In the 2016 presidential election, for example, we will all have the freedom to choose among two corporate-controlled candidates who are both pro-war, pro-Monsanto, pro-Big Government, pro-pharma, anti-freedom, anti-Constitution and anti-American. Is that really a choice at all?

Beware of the zombies. Their vote counts just as much as yours.

and that is the partnership between Clinton and Google. They have a very secretive venture and from what I recall the focus of the project is to shape opinion through search just like Facebook experimented with shaping emotions on their news feed. This is scary stuff.

Vocabulary has been declining as well. Ten years from now the Unabridged Dictionary will be half the size it is today.

for many of these types of mistakes.

Not that I disagree about vocabularies in decline, but cues and queues are both correct words to MS Word.

has created an illusion of a win. No actual crowds of people, no stadiums filled to capacity for HRC--the whole win was manufactured and hacked.

All the poles here on DU put HRC support a minority, but all of a sudden we get forced out?

Someone prove this wrong who is not a zombie themself.

AA's voted for Obama thinking he would make their voices heard and yet he has done nothing to improve the quality of the lives of African Americans. The people in the zombie video say they want Hillary because she will make women's voices heard---they are delusional. Some even agreed when Dice said she is pro-life. Frightening.
