It's kind of a hard question to answer.
My brother says he's not living in fear, but what he says and does makes me think that he is. Like in the US, he hates gun control laws of any kind, and is convinced that he guns are about to be taken away. He sends me all kinds of anti-muslim jokes, and things that bringing in the refugees here is a huge mistake. He thinks green energy is somehow some kind of liberal agenda and not genuine, etc. He "seems" afraid but if I were to ask him he would say he is not.
When I see or read about so-called survivalists who stock up on guns,ammo and survival rations, their actions seem to me like they are based in fear. They are preparing for the end of the world, or some kind of zombie apocalypse. To me, they buy and do these things because they are afraid. But in interviews, they seem calm.
Fox News spreads fear constantly. Even if you were a normally scared person, this kind of stuff would probably have less and less of an effect on you too. Maybe, people are not really afraid, but just a little nervous?
