Fear is a great tool for controlling people. Remember COVID. The hysteria was palpable and created division even down to the lowest level of interactions. In my own parish and community people were at each other's throats over social distancing and masking. My sister and I got verbally attacked in a local store by a mask-wearing old man. One of my own nephews and his friend accused me on social media of wanting to kill people. Talk about living in Loony Land.
