perhaps the 'zombification' of pop culture is the extreme reflection of terminal objectification of the 'other' -
- once dead all categorical differences 'die' with who that person 'was.' -
- 'we' are able to justify 'our' extreme violence (which is framed in the context of our survival) -
- and 'they' no longer have a say in a world where the dead out number the living -
- which could be called the "Stygian Flood" because the dead wash back to the shore of the living -
- or perhaps "The Macbethian Dam Breaks" where all torrents of blood rise above the waist -
- ultimately it may just be our collective desire -
- When Love Runs High -
- only for those who were loved before -
- "Après nous le déluge."
