It seems to me that a significant part of the press and TV news are selling just that - fear. It doesn't take long to find a word like "threat", example taken at random, on the first page of the NYT ("Shinzo Abe: Solidarity Against the North Korean Threat").
- chii 9y agoIf you have fear, then you'd be more willing to give up certain freedoms to rid said fear. Freedoms such as privacy. Mark my words, there's going to definitely be massive facial recognition on the population, in the name of keeping you "safe".
