Visualizing The World's Greatest Fears
What are the greatest fears by country? Throughout the world, people are concerned about very different things - from inequality to AIDS and from nuclear war to religious hatred...
By region, North Americans and Europeans are generally most fearful of inequality. However, each other region had their own number one perceived fear. Africans, not surprisingly, were most afraid of AIDS and other diseases. South Americans were most afraid of nuclear warfare and Asians were most afraid of pollution and environmental concerns. Lastly, people in the Middle East were most concerned about religious and ethnic hatred.
Culture and history also makes the fears of specific countries to be more heightened. More than half of Lebanese people (58%) fear religious and ethnic hatred the most. 49% of Japanese people most fear nuclear weapons. In Spain, where 51.4% of youth are unemployed, it is not surprising that 54% of Spanish people fear inequality the most. Spain is also where the fear of inequality has grown the fastest – it has increased 27% in the last seven years.

Inequality? You have to be shitting me! It's BANKERS!
Actually FEAR of inequality. Bullshit unless it's small titty/weenie issue.
When TPTB read this they are going buy another billion bullets for Homeland Security.
I fear missing the latest twerking video from Miley.
Fear is a lie. @ml8_ml8
My greatest fear is that we are running out of things to be afraid of.
Thanks to Frank Herbert, reading the original Dune in my early teens (and the sequels that soon followed) was a major wake-up call to geopolitics. As goes the ageless formula,
It's interesting to see that Latin America and Africa are both the only ones scared by real threats that aren't the direct result of the US Fed.
They are the ones not totally bombarded daily with a lying media. Stop the media stop the madness.. His name was FREDDY.
What happened to Freddy?
i fear the dow going down 1 point
False
Expectations
Appearing
Real!
Most fears are based upon fear itself. Not that which we ascribe fear to.
For example (great exercise)
Tell me what you were most fearful of yesterday. A week ago. A year ago. 5 years ago. 25 years ago. The day you were born.
No, you really don't remember them, do you.
You remember being fearful, angry, resentful, etc., but the details and intense feelings dissipate.
And most indeed, are the result of ourselves, not reality.
That's why Perceptions Management and Propaganda are Ever So Effective.
Cower up!
So everyone's afraid they won't be able to keep up with the Jones'?? Sounds like your typical selfish First World problem to me......
They fear the symptom, not knowing the problem is on a much bigger scale. Kind of like fearing the fever you get from Ebola in stead of the.. well you know.
Keeping up with the Johnsons is the more obvious priority, as it has always been.
I read somewhere recently that, for every single job 'created' in 2014, two illegals entered the US. Then i read today that illegals will qualify for backdated Earned Income Credits when they file their first tax returns.
I FEAR our nation is lost.
I FEAR our nation is lost.
Total transformation.
The cycle of Democracy and bondage has recurred over and over throughout history.
1. From bondage (Rule of men) to spiritual faith
2. From spiritual faith to great courage
3. From courage to liberty (Rule of law)
4. From liberty to abundance
5. From abundance to complacency
6. From complacency to apathy
7. From apathy to dependence <--WE'RE HERE
8. From dependence back into bondage (Rule of men)
No matter what the current “flavor” of socialism is, it always leads to tyranny.
In 1916, William J. H. Boetcker published a pamphlet titled, The Ten Cannots:
Boetcker also wrote the “Seven National Crimes.”
There are many references. Here is one.

Good stuff, but much of this could be boiled down to just one of the deadly sins: envy.
Still, Arguably, lust could feed envy too: The competition for wealth and status is also a fight for access to more and or better quality women.
Anyhow, moralists of a religious bent were onto this matter of being preoccupied by inequality many, many centuries before, and with greater clarity. It's wrong. It's destructive.
I hit that button one time.......honest I did.
Oh well....here's some more.
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.", - Alexis de Tocqueville (in "Democracy in America")
An excellent summation and who says voting doesn't matter? ;-)
“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.” - Alexis de Tocqueville
both bankers and .gov escaped the list and they are the root of ALL of the fears
Two sides of the same coin. Whose name is plunder and suck dry.
I think much of the world is worried about survival and war, if they have time to think what they are scared about.
Interesting how Kenya is afraid of a long, lost, son, returning home to ruin their country. You'd think it would be what you said.
From the Pew Study on which this is based.
Americans are somewhat divided on their biggest fear. While many name inequality (27%), around a quarter also see religious and ethnic hatred (24%) and the spread of nuclear weapons (23%) as top threats. But as with many issues in the U.S., there is a party divide. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to name ethnic hatred as a top concern. And Democrats are more apt to name the gap between the rich and the poor as the greatest danger. Independents are more divided.
Yep....outcome of all the political programming and divide and conquer policies of TPTB.
People need to wake up and realize who is controlling them and how...
I'm just baffled.....Where in the phuck is 'climate change'?
Seriously WTF!!!!
Our 'leaders' all assure us that of all the truly horribbibble and definitely terrorifically terrribble things that might soon kill us or our children, CO2 is DEFINITELY at the top of the list ('austerity' being a close second).
If Brain Williams was still at it, he would expose this so called study as clearly being right wing propaganda designed by the Koch brothers to further the radical rights racist agenda.
Independents?
Hah-hah....You mean morons who pick one or the other right?
The greatest danger to humanity is ignorance and we're already dying from it.
I might trust Pew's results for overview info, but if only ~35% R's for ethnic hatred, that means 65% R's don't. And same for D's where 15% do means 85% don't. So what can we really take away? Not much.
More MSM generated pre-packaged bullshit for the masses........
I fear some narcissist, teleprompter reading, aye hole, becoming president, fanning the flames of race wars, demonizing hard working people while paying more people not to work, and taking more of my hard earned income to give to his EBT using voters.
Oh, dear... My fears have come true.
I fear that we have past the point where we could restore our freedom. - Yew Por/Supervisor.
americans and europeans are propagandized to fear inequality because then the mega-corporations can use that to manufacture consent for mass immigration and affirmative action, thus depressing wages and growing the size of the consumer base.
Etch that in a tablet.
People fear what their governments and the media tell them to fear.
aint nuthin like a little reaffearmation :-)
People fear what their governments and the media tell them to fear.
Funny how that works huh??
Almost like the 'government' and the media are sorta the same thing huh?
Jewmocracy
United States is continent?
Common Core, baby!!!!
The US is incontinent.
That just depends on what they 'teach' you in 'school'.
How'd that not fearing stuff work out for you Marie?
She got a measure of radiation dosage named after her. A kind of immortality. I wonder if Volta or Ampere got electrocuted? Or maybe Plank got sunburned to death.
I fear that a secret group of smug entitled assholes thinks that we are all goyim cattle.
inequality? shit, youd think we were the fucking communists......
I'm afraid to die before the world ends.
hehe.
I want to see every motherfucker go before me!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Socialist USA and Europe (including crony capitalist fat cats) still enjoy the best living standards in the world but are being newsfed the inequality boogie man, which translated means the government can only be responsible for redistributing wealth to lessen our "fear of inequality." This includes advertising things like White Privilege as an obstacle to attaining Social Justice" or the evening out of wealth.
White Privilege may be defined as a child having two parents in the house. How unfair to Social Justices. As far as the bankers and ultra rich having too much wealth, be not dismayed, they will be cut down to size just like they were in 1929. Even after they lose their extra big share of the pie there will still be inequalities of income and wealth and the socialists will still play it up reminding us to covet and be jealous of our neighbor's goods. They are so rabid about pretending to even out all wealth (except their own) I could see them pulling a Pol Pot and destroying all money (except their own)
Inequality? Fuck em.
We run out of young wet pussy
Interesting none of them said "global warming" or whatever they're calling it this month. But 0baMao and his minions are obsessed with it.
Fear of widths should be a bigger deal, lest we become obliged to resort to the proverbial flour rolling to find the, ah, well, the wet pussy.
Inequality...looks like the communist propaganda is working. America and Europe are populated by dupes.
Inequality - really - that is what keeps people up at night with worry?
They must have lumped - money problems, job loss, unemployment, cancer/health care, divorce, student loan debt, and hemorrhoids all into the inequality category.
But the good news is -
It looks like the propaganda machine is still working.
I fear that someone will take this graphic seriously and will try to make more head hammering policy from it.
My greatest fear, common among the Q99x2, is that somebody will slip me an alcoholic drink. Spontaneous combustion always follows and although we show up again in some other place. It is getting there that is the real problem. Next to that is the idea that the NWO tries to take over the entire planet in a way that big Government does things. I guess it is spontaneous combustion in either case. Fuck it then hope I'm sleeping when it happens.
there will never be income 'equality'. the last thing i "worry" about is that. as long as somebody does something better than someone else, people will be willing to pay them more. a doctor is not going to work for 20k a year and everyone can't be paid 7 figure salaries.
my primary concerns are the gradual usurpation of the US government for the last hundred years by 'progressives' (collectivists), the predatory/parasitic nature of humans, and religious extremism.
My greatest fear is that Rand Paul lied about his college undergraduate degree.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/02/13/rand-paul...
Thank goodness for the Deep State control of the media!
Why, without their 24/7/365 vetting due diligence and forthrightness on the peoples behalf, we could wind up with a known socialist from Chicago, with zero business or executive experience, without even knowing what his college grades are or how he came to be president of the Haaawvahd Law Review as a result of those grades or who even paid for that education, such as it is ;-)
I fear P. terribilis ( Yellow dart frog) and its consumption of small insects or other arthropods, one of which treats may truly be the most poisonous creature on Earth, a small beetle from the family Melyridae.
At least one species of these beetles produces the same toxin found in P. terribilis. Their relatives in Colombian rainforests could be the source of the batrachotoxins found in the highly toxic Phyllobates frogs of that region.
Scares the hell out of me.
Oh, and the accepted Jewish takeover soon to be monopoly, of very single important, crucial financial nexus in the world, tolerated in complete silence everywhere in the United States, but understood very clearly in Europe and Asia.
First they came for your mortgage, then your savings, and now our incomes, SocialSecurity, and then the free toasters given out by banks to attract now customers.
Inequality? The result of too much leisure time.
"Clowns" isn't on the list? Really?
