Would you be friendly or hostile in a zombie apocalypse (lemmy.world)

Guess this is an ad hoc poll for where on the spectrum would you be on the zombie apocalypse, but I do expect halo effect to alter the results.

The question is would you be hostile or friendly to other survivors you come across if they had no recourse for their actions

The main assumption is that You have the inherent resistance to the plague so that way you can you can start in a heavily populated area and make your way out or live in there.

I would be curious if people would hide away for the rest of their lives in a cabin in the woods.

For a long time the plan was to head up to my friend's house. Cuz he was big into guns and lived basically in the middle of nowhere.

We talked about being defensive but helpful as possible, without sticking our heads out too far.

He passed away a couple years ago and now I'm not sure what the hell we'd do. I've always been outdoorsy, so probably go to one of the woods I'm familiar with and hide out, at least for a bit, to see how things pan out.

So, very defensive, but not very aggressive.

Edit: I'm also pushing 50. I'm still pretty fit, but it better happen soon or we'll probably end up sitting here. Defending the house as long as possible.

Yeah interesting to see old age would affect people's outlook of the apocalypse. I'd like to think the older I get the more I'd look more to the future and leaving the a legacy even in a shitty cataclysm
