I try to capture this sentiment all the time in conversations here in America - we are privileged simply to say, “I feel unsafe” and have it taken seriously when vast swaths of the world would simply reply, “you and everyone else, why are you stating the obvious”
The western world’s calibration on what it means to feel unsafe is so far out of whack that it’s often hard to take seriously.
