As much as I personally enjoy fictional post-apocalyptic wastelands (Mad Max, Fallout, etc.), I do find the whole genre a bit problematic because it often seems to function to reinforce the idea that humans are inherently violent, greedy, and incapable of non-opportunistic cooperation. I've even seen Lemmygrad posters speak as if Mad Max represents a realistic vision of a potential future for humanity.

I guess it is realistic, if you consider exploding the whole world with nuclear weapons would mutate humanity into roving bands of psychopaths. I can see that happening. Nuclear and mutations and yada yada yada…

Yeah…

Or, or! If we all die, the lizid people can come out of their holes in safety. And those guys are for sure a bunch of psychopaths. I can see them making a Mad Max-esque world just out of fun. Like a huge theme park.
