DANGERS OF A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
As far as the infection goes, American's consider themselves very fortunate being surrounded by their vast resources, clean rivers and fertile land. But not much thought is given towards third and 2nd world conflicts in the midst of a world wide zombie pandemic. Where the Apartheid shadow hangs over the heads of the Afrikaners in South Africa. Or the genocidal rivalries that run deep in the heart of Rwandan. The shield of Palestine would fall. The UN will be no more. South Korea would certainly burn under a northern cloud. Basic necessities will be their least of worries. What treaties will crumble? Who will invade who?
What social group will turn on who? Will the KKK rule? Will the Black Panthers assemble? Will
their be a Jihad? With the absence international cohesion, WHAT WILL BE NEXT?
What problems do you see arising within your country, or other countries due to relaxed securities on social tensions.

What is so secure about the UN?

Re-fraze: When you think about the UN security council, I suppose one should clarify the kind of security The UN security council provides the world with, or the illusion of it. What ever the case may be. With social boundaries released, nothing stays the same.

I think people would forget their racial tensions kind of like "fuck it allies today fight tomorrow" Anyone who would follow the old would most likely be zombie chow. Don't get me wrong some might survive but there would be no wide crusade to come.

Remember LZ doesn't want us getting political, unless it includes zombies.
Living in South Africa, I think about the racial tensions that have existed for a long time between the whites and the blacks. That's what we call ourselves here. And when thinking about resources and travel during a zombie pandemic, knowledge of your political and social structures may be the difference between life and death. For instance: While guarding off zombies, the whites in South Africa would have a difficult time getting from point (A) to point (B) for food and supplies. They would be met with hostile gangs of blacks, still pissed off from the apartheid movement. But in the States hostilities will be different. There might be gangs of black and white, but not a whole social structure. The states would have more vigilantism and gang related injustices than an entire racial culture breaking down. Bosnia, Cambodia, Rwanda. These cultural groups have been hunted as a people groups to be exterminate off the land. These conflicts like others is bread in the bone of that land. They are of now, currently survived (in most cases) by the pity, and security of the watching world. It is in these kind of countries that the rules of surviving a zombie Holocaust would change. American survival methods will not work.
Staying within the time line and theme of LZ, I find this to be very important. We have discussed roaming gangs, even religious vigilantism in America during a zombie pandemic. We discuss the American concept of Bunkering down, and looting houses with cans of food. Its a very American way to think. One simple difference in these other countries is, (unlike America) every house has walls, every window is bared. Every complex and flat gated. Except for the black squatter camps and endless tin villages, I can assure you, in South Africa, we will be playing by a whole new set of rules. The 10% whites of South Africa will need to band together on plots and farms, (if that would even help) those who do not will find themselves surrounded within the common metropolis of a hostile predominately black apartheid hating South African nation. Separated, and eventually massacred by a pissed off black.
Disclaimer: The name Blacks and Whites sound very racist to Americans , I know. But not in Africa. The whites are the minority here and the blacks are the majority. So what.
If you are surviving a zombie holocaust in a 3rd world country with these kind of racial and political problems, your method of surviving may change drastically. How do you navigate through them? And would you feel towards your racial or political enemy during this time?

When it comes down to it you have racial, religious, political and regional prejudices everywhere. It doesn't matter what size nation you live in. In larger nations you will have the same issues as in smaller nations. I've said to people around me, you've got people who will riot when their favorite team wins a game. Can you imagine what they will do if they think they have a legitimate reason to complain? In a Zpoc or any real national or worldwide disaster the faucet will be turned off. There will be no recourse other then to go out and get what you need. People who relied on the government will have nothing when there is no government. Those who think things will be orderly are naive or just down right lying to themselves. Those who are prepared with what they need to survive had better be prepared to defend what they have.

i agree with you on some things, but i will have to disagree with you that all nations will have equal designated problems. Yes its true, you may have pockets of marauders and vandals in America. perhaps even rouge military. But there will be a big difference between the the cultural and racial break downs in America, than say in Rwanda or South Africa during the zombie outbreak.
I can tell you about what a Zombie pandemic will be like in South Africa for the whites lets say; Imagine your a white man with a family living in the middle class suburbs of Johannesburg. South Africa is made up of about 80% black, 10% white and 10% Indian. and now Zombies are everywhere.You look out your window and you see a large crowd coming toward your street. At first you think, shit! zombies! lock the doors! but then you hear the chanting. the singing. then you see the batons. the spears, the swords. and the dancing. the crowd disperses into every house on the block. breaking down gates, bared windows. dragging whites into the streets, hacking them to pieces with their machetes. sure you may get some civilized and educated people. but Africa isn't predominately civilized or educated. And these are the majority blacks who are generally pissed at the whites in Africa. Now your thinking oh shit. so you hide your family behind a wall or in a cellar. but then you realize that your place, like the thousands of other white owned homes and apartments have now been seized by the millions of homeless blacks wandering, banding , and taking back what they feel is rightfully theirs from the white colonialists. Just like in Zimbabwean. Each country will have its own flow. Make no mistake. Only those who know its pulse will take proper precautions.

I can't know how it would be in your nation. I'll rely on you for that information.The outbreaks that have been discussed on this sight range from level one to level four, 80% of the earth. I tend to lean toward the 80% end. Once the infrastructure and commerce routes are dead and gone because there is no one to safely move product the rest will break down quickly. Imagine 80% of your nation are walking dead. Will the whites in your nation even survive the epidemic?
On a different point. Your posts are very descriptive of the situation in your nation. You should write a blog story of how you would see things developing in your country..

I believe that every tension will be escalated during the first stages of infection. But as things go, I also believe those tensions will dissolve away for the most part. Once the majority population is reduced to a minority population, we will have a zombie apartheid. At that point, people may figure out they need each other regardless of race, color or religion.
