I recently made a comment to the effect that if you’re from China, Russia, or the US you’re used to your country getting away with anything it likes and zero repercussions. As a result the populace is not psychologically prepared for things to go wrong compared to pretty much everyone who lives in the third world. My comment made people very angry, it was weird.
well of course. there are preppers and other people who always expect the worst. everyone is different and when you make such a comment the ones who are prepared feel disrespected, even if they are not the biggest group in those countries. a lot of people live there and even relatively small groups can nominally have tens or hundreds of thousands of people.
Id argue that most people think that the good times never end, which is why economies and stock markets are constantly crashing. They don’t prepare for it not being perfect.
maybe not constantly, but you have a point
