That's exactly what the zombie analogy has been about from the start...
Of course you have to look at the original zombie films to get the foundational essence of the message. The whole genre has been buttfucked to infinity at this point. I can't stand the new zombie shit.
Dawn of the Dead (1978) was the most pure "translation" of the zombie analogy. The zombies flocking to the mall because it's habit, that's all they know... really profound shit right there. A beautiful and simple profundity that you just don't see anywhere anymore.
But the coming calamity won't be anywhere near as serene as depicted in that film. No sir. It will be loud, with the 'dead' slaughtering one another and finding themselves trapped in the urban cage that was so brilliantly set up to contain them. Cities are so easily cordoned off and contained. They are truly well thought out containment areas. The elite love the fact that they're packed in sardines numbering in the millions... what with their global depopulation plan, it just makes the job so much easier.
Rural people are under the impression that they'll have to deal with the roving onslaught of city dwellers pouring into the countryside to overtake them... but they will never get that far. The only ones who could would be the ones who have lived in the rural setting before and are still physically equipped enough to navigate and query their past knowledge. Those groups would be incredibly small.
