Unfortunately, most don't understand why they are scared. They have this amorphous fear which is easily manipulated by those in control of the wire, accelerating daily the very dangerous world which is triggering the fear in the first place. Crowd formation on steroids, being directed by the most socially unstable group around - the "leadership". These are socially broken people, and they keep accelerating the very causes of their own destruction. One hell of a doom loop.
