So, I got
home from work tonight, got on facebook, saw something about Zombies and
thought, "Hey this would make a great blog post!"Then I thought
"Shoot! I forgot to do a blog post this week!" So I figured I'd be
proactive and post this for next week suuuuuper early!
This was the facebook post in question.
I know the zombie thing is extremely stretchable, but I
thought this one was a pretty low blow. One the one hand I’m glad they didn’t
single out one political party, but still, the people they’re making fun of
care about their country. They may have different beliefs, but that doesn’t
make them mindless.
I don’t know the political views of the person who posted
this, but it reeks of one of my least favorite things to hear, which is “I don’t
care about politics.” Everything is politics. You’re going to get angry when
the government does something you don’t like, right? Well, I hate to break it
to you, but that’s politics.
Yeah--this image bothers me, too. It's making a stupid, lazy argument. People gathered together in ACTIVE support of something they care about are, in lots of ways, the opposite of zombie. The zombies are, perhaps, the folks who do nothing. Good job taking down some lazy rhetoric, Austin.
