Earth is the netherworld. Cthonic. Everyone has already died at least once. More specifically, nearly every dire ape is a Frankenstein, made up of salvaged mismatched bits of the previously-killed.
The zombies are controlled via necromancy.
Actually necromancy means dead-divination, so raising and guiding the deceased is more like thanatokinesis, but I won't die on that hill either. English is doomed, don't waste time trying to fix it.
Maybe there's a few vampires here and there - special vampires which can survive on zombie blood.
Everyone is afraid of the zombie apocalypse because it's already happened. As usual, zombies IRL are less dramatic than movie-version zombies. IRL zombies are mindless, want (as far as they can be said to want anything) to destroy your brain, and reproduce via mob violence because they're utterly unthreatening one-on-one. They are easy to trip. They desperately hate and resent the living (as far as they can be said to feel anything). They even hate the mockery of life they themselves constitute. Along with being less dramatic, they are less cool. They do feel pain, remorse, and fear, and shooting them in the brain is far from the only way to kill one.
Actually that's a lie, they don't feel remorse. They pretend to be remorseful when properly terrorized, in an attempt to avoid pain.
They do genuinely recoil from divine symbols, and indeed that's a good test of genuine sanctity. If it makes NPCs reeee, it's holy, with a few edge-case exceptions. Look how far a zombie flips out when you call them a zombie, for example.
IRL zombies are undead souls, rather than undead bodies. The flesh is willing but the spirit is not. The spirit is defective.
The TFR 'crisis' is probably just the fact the necromancers can't be arsed to raise so many zombies anymore. No undead souls => no births, by hook or by crook.
Many vampires terribly butthurt about the shortage of prey.
Vampires aren't really feeding on your blood. They feed on your soul, using your blood as a medium. Symbolic essence as a gateway to actual essence.
IRL vampires do it backwards by feeding on metaphorical blood. Zombies do have their own unholy vitality. Come to think, IRL vampires must be thanatovores or scavengers. It's logically necessary. The body is holy, and thus blood is a holy oil. If a vampire drank blood they would exorcise themselves. They can only feed on flesh and essence that's already been desecrated. E.g. paper money.
lol add 'blood' to the list of critical vampire weaknesses
and gold

tfr crisis is because people dont reproduce when life is meaningless. That is all
"Meaningless" in this case means "I will never live a life of perfect luxury and security and unlimited social status or success".
If I can't be King, I shan't bother.
Technically not untrue. Narcissism or Egalitarianism means the vampires are told that they're all necromancers. In other words, if they don't command armies and have fat harems of skinny young girls, they're failures. Might as well give up.
The post is talking about zombies, though. They reproduce or not entirely because they're told to or not. They are also told they're kings, but they don't know what that means. They can't tell the difference between meaningful or meaningless, any more than they can see ultraviolet.

It's not the contraceptive knowledge, per se. None of this stuff was hard to find before the Bradlaugh-Besant trial. Rather, zombies see the publishing of a book as Regime approval of the book. "Ah, the Necromancers want us to have fewer kids. On it!"
Much as zombies can't see meaning or lack thereof, they cannot fathom the idea of liberty. "We think for ourselves." "We are all individuals." They assume it's some meaningless slogan they're supposed to chant, same as the previous meaningless slogans.
The only question is what, exactly, the tyrant necromancer is forcing them to do.
Having no will of their own genuinely causes liberty to be meaningless to the zombie. They can't resist even the mildest suggestion, because they have nothing to resist it with. Analogous to the way the "immunocompromised" can't resist the mildest infection.
Zombies can't even desire to resist. I mean, who would program them with that? What's the point?
