# Fear Culture
*A frightened man gives up his freedom for the promise of safety.*
*Fear makes a man give up his freedom for the promise of safety.*
Fear culture, also culture/climate of fear, hysteria or fearmongering, is a [culture](culture.md) driven by pervasive, artificially sustained fear that's used to manipulated masses of people. It is among the most effective political tools of manipulation and so, unsurprisingly, enjoys wide popularity and application in dystopias, currently for example in the [USA](usa.md) and other "western countries" where fear culture gets perfected and taken to extremes with never stopping pressure coming mainly from the media (news, social networks, [ads](marketing.md), billboards, magazines, ...) -- see for example the "war on terror", anti-immigration, "[pedophile](pedophilia.md) hysteria", "computer [security](security.md) hysteria" and countless other [modern](modern.md) societal phenomena responsible for the epidemic of [depression](depression.md) and [suicides](suicide.md). Fear makes people give up their [freedom](freedom.md) voluntarily (e.g. consent with surveillance, approve of dictatorship, ...), blindly [consume](consumerism.md) what they're given (vaccines, spying devices, body implants, software [updates](update_culture.md), ...), spend money on bullshit, it makes them resort to desperate behavior such as killing other people (needed e.g. when a nation wants to lead a [war](war.md)), it makes them stop thinking and delegate decisions on others (so called "[leaders](hero_culture.md)") etc. Fear also creates great many [businesses](business.md) (guns, insurance, [antiviruses](antivirus_paradox.md), [VPN](vpn.md)s, home security, drugs, security services, prepping, police, military, news, ...) and is therefore supported by [capitalism](capitalism.md).
