why is the plot in apocalypse series always that everyone is aginst everyone? that all people need to arm themselves because everyone wants to kill each other?

in real life scenarios of extreme situations, in almost every case humans would stick together and show altruistic behaviour, share everything because that is the only way to survive. but in fiction it is always the opposite(?).

why is it like that? what do you think?

Agreed. It’s not exciting watching a bunch of people work together to build a windmill. Nobody will spend millions of dollars to hire actors and release it on Netflix.

The only way it could be is if they’re also working together to, I dunno, resist murderous aliens or armed human capitalists at the same time. (“Oh no, the capitalists have come to destroy our peaceful and productive commune!”) But then we’re getting back to some kind of “us versus them.”
