It is stated at one point by some CIA guy that North Korea was able to avoid the zombie outbreak by systematically removing the teeth of all of its residence in less than 24 hours. The reasoning being that if nobody had teeth then the virus couldn’t spread because nobody could bite anyone. He states that it was “the greatest feat of social engineering ever achieved”. Like I get this is a fictitious plot but they can’t even avoid making up the most utterly deranged bullshit lmao.
Haven't seen the movie, same thing happens in the book. It doesnt even make sense given all the health problems caused by pulling every single tooth of every single member of a population.
The book is also pro Zionist and pro apartheid South Africa among other bs.
irl, DPRK would stop zombies similar to how it stopped covid.
Yeah, doesn't Israel open their border wall to let Palestinians in and it ends up letting the zombies in?
Bruh
It was written by Mel Brooks's son, and not all Jews are Zionists of course, but I fucking bet Mel Brooks is.
It's been a while since I read it, but I don't think that happens. They do let Palestinian refugees in but I don't remember anything about it backfiring, other than the civil war I think Israel rides out the war pretty well.
In the movie they do, though. A woman in a hijab starts singing and all the people waiting to be let in start singing as well. Turns out zombies are attracted to noise and that leads to them climbing the wall. Can't get any more overt with the anti-arab sentiment there.
Yeah that movie had quite a few dog whistles like that as well as the main hero getting their own disposable IDF soldier to accompany theme.
The book is more lib than explicitly racist. In the book, Israel evacuates Jerusalem and lets in Palestine refugees. In fact, their biggest issue is from settlers and ultra-orthodox that are angry about abandoning the West Bank and the old city. The South Africa thing is more messed up, with the South African government adopting an apartheid SA plan that was originally made to evacuate the white population and provide continuity of government in case of a revolution. It's more of "isn't it nice that people can get along with their oppressors?"
IIRC in the movie, Palestinian refugees fuck everything up by singing really loud, thus attracting the zombie horde

Pretty much. They closed boarders and had strict quarantines of any one remotely exposed, but unlike China only had one real lockdown.
