If you listen to the mainstream media or any mainstream political commentary on numerous radio stations, podcasts, websites etc, then you might have become <b>a little afraid</b> as of late, about a rise in world war rhetoric. 

The media does one thing very well and that is instilling fear into the masses, *it isn't spreading truths,* but fueling a desperation in millions to cling onto their governments for protection and *to fear others*, in the wake of what they believe is growing unrest and security threats in other places of the world.

According to a recent report from the *International Committee of the Red Cross*, most millennials today believe that a nuclear attack might happen within the next decade. 

The report included 16k participants from various countries around the world, adults between the ages of 20 and 35. About [54 percent reported that they were currently living in fear](https://www.vox.com/2020/1/20/21070621/millennials-survey-nuclear-world-war-3-red-cross) of this potential reality that they think they might face eventually down the road. 

And if they do, they will have government to thank for it. And the media for fanning the flames.

The state takes thousands of dollars from the average individual every year and with that money they provide them with crumbling roads, overflowing and deteriorating healthcare facilities, security services that at times often pose more of a threat, than offer any true help and security, short sighted and failed controls are widely prevalent. Yet, despite the trillions they are given, and the bold and lofty goals of working for "peace and security" around the world, after all that <b>we still have them to thank for what many believe is an immediate threat to their peace and way of living, with potential nuclear war coming in the next several years</b>. 

But they might have a hard time finding the necessary fools who are willing to perpetuate and embrace such violence, and the state needs *the people* to be willing carry out its acts of violence, otherwise they would never get done.  

Military organizations in various places around the world have been facing difficulties with recruiting and retention, many young people these days simply don't want to sign over their life for years. Perhaps more are realizing that a life given to the state <b>is very easily a life that is wasted</b>. 

If many people today believe that their government is corrupt, then giving your remaining, limited freedom over to them isn't within your best interest, and only helps to support and fuel corruption in government and elsewhere. *There are so many other, more positive, peaceful, and lucrative ways, that you can help to support your community or country*, that don't involve invading other countries overseas. 

If you want to get a little more peace in your life, turning off the nightly mainstream news is one easy way to do it.
