Fear the Walking Dead, Survival rule of the week: War is hell.

Fear the Walking Dead season 7

As Fear The Walking Dead hit its midseason finale, Alicia declared war on Strand in a zombie apocalypse; war is hell.

When we left the first half of this season of Fear The Walking Dead, Alicia had declared war on Strand, seeing the murdering of her friend Will as the last straw. She decided if it was the last thing she ever did, since she believes she is dying. She plans to topple Strand and take his community for her followers, Morgan, and their mutual friends that Strand has cast out.

This is all well and good, but if you step back for a second and look at things, you realize maybe it’s not “all well and good.” There are a whole host of factors in play that I don’t think either Alicia or Strand considered before declaring this war. I think it’s going to turn an already ugly situation into one even more disastrous than it was already going to be.

You might be wondering, “What does this have to do with survival in a zombie apocalypse?” It occurred to me since there’s always the chance that people will be belligerent donkeys in a zombie apocalypse, and always the chance you may have to go to war with them, it would be a good idea to give you a head’s up of other factors you need to be aware of. If you consider these things, even if you can’t avoid going to war, it will make you much better prepared than you would be without accounting for these issues, and thus, more likely to survive.
