The government are feeding us fear and ideology that's why many people got trap to the system because they were scared of being attacked and abuse by the bad people, and they still don't know that the government are the one who created antagonist to make them believe that we need a government. Many people are so hungry with a real freedom but there's still a lot more people who are being brainwashed and controlled to keep them in the system.
You are right @cortexx. There is a lot fear mongering, misinformation and propaganda.
But at the same time, we must shy away from laying blame.
We must take courage and personal responsibility in the face of this fear.
Easier said than done, but it is possible. We, as a human civilization, have done it before.
