91 percent of those in Colombia think the world is now a more dangerous place...
Around the globe, the feeling that the world became more dangerous in the last year is widespread. According to a new survey by Ipsos, 82 percent of respondents from 28 countries said they somewhat or strongly agree with this sentiment.
However, as Statista's Martin Armstrong shows in the following infographic, this general feeling of pessimism not universal.

Poster Comment:
The US is fourth behind Colombia as seeing the world as a more dangerous place.
Maybe because Biden became the Prez.
India and China see the world as getting better. Maybe because they are Christian nations? Maybe not?

Its a global welfare Ponzi scheme. Eventually the frauds in Washington, and the big bankers are going to find that you cant keep ripping off the American People to the tune of trillions with deflated wages and a higher cost of living. I was offered a managerial job at a local auto parts chain today, and the starting salary was 70K a year. My first thought was it sounds great, but I am not getting vaccinated, I am not getting tested, and I certainly wont do either for a job that does not change my life profoundly.

These fuckers think men can get pregnant, nuclear war is good?
That's not bad money, I couldn't spend it that fast. When I was sleeping with my stock broker, Becky, she use to tell me that if I died with a $100 in my pocket, I worked an hour too long. Granted, $100 ain't shit, but around the turn of the century, that would've kept me knee-deep in good whiskey for a couple weeks.

"More dangerous" and "more things are getting better in the world than are getting worse" are not opposites, or even mutually exclusive. If the 28 countries (around the globe) from which the responses came represent the universe, and 82% of the respondents felt that the world became more dangerous in the last year, then I'd say that sentiment is pretty universal. Naturally, ZH doesn't tell us what percentage of respondents in China, India, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia felt that the world became more dangerous in the last year.

BTW, even if I and my wife, a staunch antivariegationist, wanted to adopt a couple of pickaninnies to atone for our unalloyed alabastrinity, we wouldn't be able to -- because we live in a highly Baptist region and they've all already been snatched up.

I kinda do. My neighbor, Rudy, about 500' from me turned up with a fiberglass Sinclair gas station (brontosaur?) whatever that thing was. Eight foot tall, maybe eighteen, twenty foot long. One of the few times I was jealous in my life.
He had a boonie hat on it all summer, but it was gone this morning. I wanted to put a scarf on its neck, but it'd have to be about twenty feet long.
