Well, it’s a well-designed trap carefully constructed to have the strongest possible effects on our lizard brains.

Maybe there are ways to check our governments’ true commitment to safety in multiple areas and draw conclusions?

Environmental protection (we live in a period of climate collapse)? Food safety (sugar industry controlling legislation etc.)? Weapon licensing? Access to healthcare services and life-saving medications like insulin? Healthcare and social services for mothers and young children? Preferring diplomacy to aggression and acts of destabilization in politics?

Looking at all of this I conclude that, sadly, our governments don’t seem to care much about our or our children’s safety.

Looking at the efforts politicians put into staying into power and acting on personal or corruption-driven agendas… we’re not in great shape and I have the feeling that there may be some manipulation going on with intention to disrupt organizing, personal privacy, and the ability of individuals to communicate without being surveilled.

All authoritarian governments absolutely hate that - for reasons having nothing to do with the safety of their citizens.
