So I want to live a very safe, secure and peaceful life and I think all of the groups of people I mentioned above will be a threat to it. I want zero involvement with these people. Politicians do all kinds of shady and illegal stuff under the blanket of being people’s representatives. The elite rape and torture people for their own sadistic pleasure. Law enforcement loves to misuse their power to harass, abuse and spoil people’s lives. And, you don’t need an explanation regarding the underworld. How do I protect myself, my family, the ones I love and are near and dear to me from all these horrendous people? I have a normal job, I’m not an activist or advocate for any social cause. I’m a bit above the middle class so I guess you can call me I’m from the upper middle class. How do I live a life where I go zero contact with these people? Thanks!

Edit: Edited to add the serious tag.

    Second this.

    My read on it was that there’s a chance OP is a little over sensitive to the news cycle - happens sometimes. For me, it was the fear of Russia launching a war into N America in the next couple of years, and my family and I getting drafted. Real possibility, low likelihood.

    Solution: disconnect from the news for a bit and reconnect with the ppl around you. We aren’t that important on a broad scale, unless one is in an overtly totalitarian country (then ignore my comment lol)

      You could say that I live in an overtly totalitarian country. I live in India and with the path we are going, we’ll mostly be a dictatorship within 2027 with the new “one nation one election” bullshit.

      Solution: disconnect from the news for a bit and reconnect with the ppl around you.

      I actually don’t consume news. I don’t watch news on the TV or YouTube. I don’t read newspapers either. Some rare “once under a blue moon browsing local news subreddits thing” that’s it. But even that rare news consumption makes me feel nervous with all the crazy and vile shit going on in my country.

        Living in India actually takes this from “you are being ridiculous” to “oh this is a legitimate problem”.
