Yes, if you can keep the people living in fear with the belief their government is the only answer then they will beg for subjugation.

Comment seems to forget that humans are naturally fearful, its not some conspiracy. Just human nature

[xboxnolifes]

taking advantage of that is the conspiracy.

Citation needed. Plus, even if it is natural, that's not an argument about it being a good thing

[netizen-936824]

I never said if it was beneficial or not, just that its not some huge conspiracy

My citation is intro to psych textbooks

The people shouting loudest about how bad everything is are the people who benefit most from things not getting better. So it is hardly surprising that some governments (e.g. US) jump from crisis to crisis.
