- TeaDrunk 6y agoAs an LGBTQ immigrant a lot of those things are quite scary personally.
- evgen 6y agoAll of those things are incredibly rare occurrences, and there is still a greater probability that you will be the victim of one of them than that the country becomes North Korea.
- naniwaduni 6y agoThat seems wrong. No matter how I slice it, risk of being North Korea (specifically) seems to clock in at somewhere between 0.1% and 2%, appreciably more than incredibly rare occurrences.
- whoisburbansky 6y agoIs this the risk of, say, a randomly chosen person happening to be North Korean or the risk of the USA turning into North Korea? If the latter, I'd love to see how you end up at that number.
- stale2002 6y ago> there is still a greater probability that you will be the victim of one of them than that the country becomes North Korea. I don't agree with this. To be honestly, I would consider around 1/3rd of the world wide population to be currently living under authoritarian regimes of varying degrees of bad.
- jl2718 6y agoSo ironic you would say that. Sounds like you’re ‘denying’ the possibility of a totalitarian genocide.
- approxim8ion 6y agoAt the risk of being presumptuous, they're likely not scary to people who don't belong to the groups these events target.
