How much of society’s rules should still apply in a zombie apocalypse? (feddit.uk)

Which norms do you think would still largely apply and what would be the first to go out the window? Are there principles you would personally still stick to despite not expecting the same from others? Do you think these rules would need to be enforced in groups or is "common decency" mostly inherent and universal? How about the difference between lone survivors and groups? Would an individual potentially be more dangerous due to nobody holding them accountable?

These are just examples of a different angles from which to consider this question. I'm curious about hearing your thoughts on what society would be like under what effectively is true anarchy.

the core behaviors would persist, empathy, mutual team work would persist. how they're applied would be drastically different. the initial stages would be rough because we've been self selecting for individualism over collectivism.

basically things that spread virally need collective action to form a bulwark against or enough space between nodes to act as a natural firewall. So I suspect you'd see natural selection happening rapidly. those that can work as a community collectively would thrive those who cant would wither or be solo in the wilderness.
