I am one of those lucky ones. Hopefully I get early entry too as an LPU member.
The world has always been unsafe, even if you're being a bit too pesimistic about it. I see this kind of thinking all the time these days and to be honest, no harm or bad feelings, but the internet has affected people's perception of the real world so damn much I think it might be scarier seeing someone still believing vaccines are bad or climate change is a hoax over your average street thief/criminal. It is getting that dangerous and many still don't realize how awfully easy is to become a horrible human being online now. Again, no hard feelings on your personal experiences at all, just telling my perspective.
