Sounds interesting: a fiction book about a pandemic with no cure where people repeat old routines compulsively, without consciousness and until death and leads to total societal collapse. Oh yeah, published in 2018. - Upgoat

This Japanese movie from 2007 seems like their blueprint.

The two sound nothing like each other.

You are making a comparison to a fictional book that mirrors our current society. I was showing another example. Specifically, the pandemic portion.

Goddammit, do you people not fucking critically think any more? I swear to God, dealing with so many of you fucks is so fucking tiring.

Let me spell this shit out for you. I'll refer to my submission as "1" and yours as "2."

1 has a pandemic. 2 has an epidemic that targets only Japanese people. 1 is a natural disease. 2 is an engineered disease. 1 has no vaccine. 2 has a vaccine.

1 is survival in a collapsing society driven by most of the people being brain dead and controlled by what is effectively a parasitic mind-controlling host.

2 is a "the cure is the disease" story with the traditional Japanese philosophical childhood-based examination of what it is to be alive versus what it is to be "alive." There is no survival element as the "survival" concept is an abstraction of what it is to be human and thus raising the question of consciousness what makes "life."

1 is a story of the survivors. 2 is a story of those changed (not dead, not brain dead) by a medical intervention as opposed to the disease.

The two are not similar. Not even close.

I wasn’t comparing what I posted to what you posted. I am assuming you posted a book that is similar to our current situation. Correct? I posted a movie that is similar to the pandemic and the vaccine. Also our current situation. You don’t have to get all emotional on me lol. BTW I was the only one who upvoted your post for visibility.

Starting off with a lie and I'm not reading the rest of the shit you posted. You're a fucking piece of shit and need to GTFO the site.

Right out of the jew's handbook: act like shit until someone has enough of it and then cry in pain as they strike back.

Fuck off.
