The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
H. L. Mencken
The person who compiled the above list of hobgoblins forgot to mention, the threat of global warming/climate change which is the current government sponsored threat, used to extract more and more of YOUR wealth to support their elitist ideals.
When I was growing up, people were building fallout shelters in their backyards, and stockpiling food because of the immediate threat of a nuclear war.
Keeping the general population on edge and fearful is not some new tool governments use to keep people frightened and in a state of concern all the time. It is an effective method to divert attention from government incompetence on all levels.
