The following article, Amazon Previews End of Days and the Zombie Apocalypse, was first published on The Black Sphere.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but did Amazon just beta-test the zombie apocalypse?

Because if you want to know what the end of civilization looks like, it’s not mushroom clouds or meteors—it’s millennials losing access to their DoorDash app.

The Daily Mail reported that when Amazon Web Services (AWS) went down, it wasn’t just websites flickering—it was society glitching.

At around 8 a.m. London time, the British government’s websites began blinking like a politician under oath. Then America woke up, and the East Coast’s first words weren’t “Good morning” but “Why won’t my Disney+ load?”

It started small—Lyft rides stalled, Reddit went quiet (a blessing, frankly), and people’s Ring cameras stopped recording porch pirates. But as dawn spread, so did the panic.

United Airlines and Delta couldn’t process flights. News junkies couldn’t open the New York Times (which might have improved national morale). Social media influencers and OnlyFans “stars” watched their digital cashflow drop to zero. Digital addicts found themselves staring not into glowing screens, but into the terrifying abyss of their own thoughts.

And that’s when it hit me:

Amazon just gave us a preview of the apocalypse—and it’s not zombies eating brains, it’s people losing Wi-Fi.

Dependency Nation

One-third of all online users rely on Amazon Web Services daily. That’s not an exaggeration—that’s our civilization’s Achilles’ heel with next-day delivery. AWS runs everything from Netflix and Venmo to Disney, Reddit, and your smart toaster.

That’s right, you can’t even make toast anymore without Jeff Bezos blessing the server.

A simple database failure and suddenly half the planet is sitting around, helpless, wondering why Alexa has abandoned them.

It’s as if humanity decided: “Let’s put all our survival instincts in one giant server farm in Virginia. What could go wrong?”

And here’s the cosmic joke—our species survived plagues, wars, and disco, but one tech hiccup from Amazon, and the world nearly curled into the fetal position.

Only a few generations ago, men stormed beaches under machine-gun fire. Today, their grandsons can’t function because they can’t track a package.

Gen Z and the Great Collapse

Let’s be honest: if the grid went down for a week, Gen Z would perish faster than TikTok’s attention span.

How would they eat without DoorDash? Communicate without Snapchat? Find a date without swiping right? You’d see twenty-somethings walking into actual restaurants, confused, trying to talk to waiters like it’s an archaeological experiment.

“Uh, yeah, I’d like to… order food? But like… in person?”

The sheer trauma of making eye contact might send half of them into shock. And balancing a checkbook? Forget it. Most wouldn’t even recognize a check. They’d stare at it like Indiana Jones examining a WWI artifact.

And God help us if they had to find news the old-fashioned way. “What’s a newspaper?” they’d ask, as they try to swipe right on the obituaries.

The Left’s Digital Religion

The search for convenience has created a loss of control. The Left has built an entire worldview on digital dependency.

The indoctrination pipeline flows from Silicon Valley to your phone. Your news, your opinions, even your moral outrage—it’s all packaged, filtered, and delivered with a variety of Leftist memberships.

They don’t need religion when they have notifications.

So when Amazon crashed, so did the faith. The Church of Woke had a brownout.

Without their devices, they couldn’t be told what to believe that day. CNN couldn’t upload the day’s hysteria. MSNBC couldn’t manufacture its outrage cycle. The Left was spiritually naked—and it terrified them.

It was like watching heroin addicts detox in public. For the first time in years, they had to engage with reality—and reality, it turns out, doesn’t have a safe space.

The Real-World Reboot

But maybe, just maybe, there’s a silver lining. Because when the servers crashed, something ancient flickered back on—the human brain.

Neighbors actually talked to each other. Families sat together without everyone scrolling silently like zombies. One guy even went outside. Outside. You know, that place with the big light in the sky and free vitamin D.

It’s ironic that Amazon—whose founder dreams of colonizing Mars—accidentally reminded us how fragile life on Earth has become. Bezos probably didn’t mean to simulate Judgment Day, but when the same company that delivers your cat food also runs half the world’s digital infrastructure, one hiccup can turn into a civilization-wide panic attack.

And what was the culprit?

According to cybersecurity expert James Knight, it was a database issue. One little digital domino that toppled a billion-dollar empire for a few hours. Imagine explaining that to your ancestors:

“Sorry, great-grandpa, we couldn’t defend freedom today because TikTok was buffering.”

The Conservative Perspective

Conservatives have warned about this dependency for years. Big Tech isn’t just a convenience—it’s a cage.

Every new “smart” innovation is another digital shackle. The Left calls it “progress,” but it’s really just polished servitude.

We traded self-reliance for subscription services. Instead of rugged individualism, we got push notifications. And now, when the lights flicker, half the nation panics because they can’t Google “how to survive without the internet.”

The outage exposed what happens when government, media, and tech consolidate into one fragile power grid—a uniparty of control running on the cloud.

Conservatives don’t fear the power going out; we fear the people who control the switch.

What the Collapse Taught Us

When Amazon went down, Leftists discovered what conservatives already know: the more centralized your life, the easier it is to break it.

It’s the same reason socialism fails every time. You can’t rely on one giant system to manage billions of moving parts. Whether it’s the government controlling the economy or Amazon controlling your thermostat, centralization always leads to chaos.

This wasn’t a “tech glitch.” It was a dress rehearsal. A stress test for what happens when global dependency meets digital fragility.

And the results? Let’s just say the zombies may have won this one.

If the Wi-Fi Dies, Who Survives?

When the next outage hits—and it will—the only people who’ll survive are those who remember analog life. The folks who can read maps, fix things, and cook without Googling recipes.

The rest will wander aimlessly, searching for a charger that no longer works, muttering, “Alexa, find civilization.”

And you can bet the Left will demand a “government solution” to stop it from ever happening again. Maybe a “Department of Wi-Fi Security” with mandatory router inspections and equity-based internet distribution.

But here’s the truth:
You can’t regulate survival skills into existence. You have to live them.

If you can’t function without an app, you don’t own your life—Amazon does. And when the next outage hits, don’t say you weren’t warned. Bezos already gave you the trailer.
