Viaveritasvita,

Me too! But look how many quiver at the thought of being called a coward, racist or anti vaxxer. They often will remain silent when they should speak out.

We are also manipulated through fear by the foods we eat -such & such is bad for you. Years later, it turns out it wasn’t so bad after all.

The government is fantastic at ruling through fear. Don’t pay taxes? Go to jail or pay heavy penalties -even if it’s an honest mistake.

Religions (not all) also use fear to manipulate people. Don’t believe? Burn in hell for eternity even if you lead a pure and unblemished life.

There are many more examples, but we are facing manipulative fear bombs everywhere.
