This is so much more important than ppl would like to think.
Everyone needs to understand that it was never about a heavy increase in crime, but a heavy increase in crime coverage. It’s not getting more, but now we see all of it, which is a good thing.
It’s literally the safest time to be alive in any point in human history, but OK. People really need to take a break from the melodrama of the internet once in a while. We have many potential and very real threats to our future, but quite literally there are more people with opportunities in life than ever. There are fewer global conflicts than basically ever. There is less violent crime in the US, EU, and most of the world than ever. It doesn’t matter what it “feels like” out there, but the data doesn’t lie. What you are seeing is a much wider vantage point to the world than in generations past. These stories you’d never heard give people the impression things are nothing but doom and gloom, but for more people than ever, it’s quite the opposite.
world is especially dark today. Not sure how I feel about starting my day with dismemberment, slavery, and helicopter crash deaths.
The world is safer now than any time in the past.

Felt safer in '06
For me, the world felt a lot safer before 9/11, but maybe that’s because I’m an American
At leat you’re not middle eastern after 9/11
Or before 9/11.
