The fear is used to get people to do something specific that the government wants. The media is merely an arm that goes along with all the nonsense.

As religion slowly fades in the west, especially left wing do gooders appear to be replacing their religious figures with politicians and want more and more money to be poured into government and make the government buildings / churches as big and plentiful as possible.

This next thing is just a joke to me, considering I lived in Scotland where crime and drugs are still rife (only place in the UK I've ever been randomly attacked by the way for no reason) and it appears to be turning into some bizarre social experiment in wokeness:

Council accused of ‘mansplaining’ menstruation after appointing man as ‘period dignity officer’

If you have time to fart around with this sort of claptrap it is a clear indication to me, there is far too much money invested into politics and our taxes can heavily be reduced. If poor women genuinely have problems accessing period products, by all means, start a charity, I'd donate and I'm sure many women would as well. It sounds like a humbling option. But does a government need to make money out of this sort of situation (if it really exists - we'd have to look beyond the media to make sure!)? It sounds leeching and opportunistic if anything that jobs are created for this!

The human race easily has the opportunity to use Bitcoin and tell governments to all fuck off with their taxes completely but people are too scared because the media said Bitcoin is bad and used by criminals.
