Zombies can instinctively tell who else is a zombie. They hate the living and want to kill them, to drag them down to their own level. Vampires, however, love being better than everyone else. They only chose certain select untermensch to be raised up to vampire level. They revel in their superior qualities. Likewise, in my essay on "trash culture" I point out that the dregs of society actively dislike anyone intelligent or talented, or 'different'. This is like the zombies aggression towards non-zombies, and the normals aggression towards vampires. The untermensch, the trash culture elements, wish everyone to be equally limited, simply because it's not fair that some should be excellent.

Of course the zombie tendency to eat/sniff out "BRAAAINS!!" (a hunger for what they lack leads to a need to destroy/equalize that which seems beyond them) adds more weight to this nicely-formulated metaphor.

Justice

It is absolute justice that the elites should rule the masses. Go vampires.
