Right Wingers Love Them Some Zombie Fiction

They do, and you know it's true.  Right wing reactionary killers love them the zombie genre because it gives them precisely what they want -- the chance to kill.  And feel like they're heroes while doing it.

Story after story presents the same fetish-tropes, the loving description of weaponry, the can-do rural-types besieged by those "urban" zombies (stand-ins for the damned lib'rals who just want to come take your stuff)...and you get to shoot them.  You're a hero for shooting them.  Right wing wet dreams.  Loving descriptions of double-taps and head-shots.  Lib'ral zombies falling one after the other as the good rural white man protects his shit.

Right wingers love this post-apocalyptic genre.  It's a lot more fun than working hard to create a better world.  That's no fun.  That's for lib'ral zombies.

Tap-TAP.

Ancient Fathers

Burn offerings to the casual cruelty
of the fathers.

We owe everything to them,
the joys of indoor plumbing
and the massacre,

the crescendo pleasure of the primate paw
swiping at the meek.

Burn flesh at the altar of the fathers
and suck the juicy fat
of their desire.
