What is your biggest fear based on how the world is going right now?
33 comments
AI taking over everything including jobs, creativity and maybe even relationships.
The violence against women from men. Because it gets more and more and men easily believe what incel men say and radicalise themselves online.
My two adopted daughters (adopted after being in foster care, as adults) who have green cards, will be detained and deported for looking Latino and they’ll never be able to live here again.
Getting sick and being unable to work and look after myself.
A trans child attempting suicide like I did due to a lack of support from their family and community.

Lunatic adults grooming my kids.

That all my rights will be stripped away and I’ll become property to be bought/sold by a man, along with all the other women.
I’m so scared for the children and their safety. People abuse and kill them in the cruelest ways. They’re real victims, and I feel like things are going to get even worse. It hurts me a lot knowing that at this same second they are assaulted, tortured and killed everywhere.
Not being able to leave the country I live in and get permanent residency in another country
Gilead
Getting older. The world is already excluding the elderly who can’t keep up with technology changes (if you do t use internet or have a mobile phone you’re pretty isolated from a lot of services). I shudder to think what new technology will come in that I won’t be able to use when I’m elderly (and how little patience people will have for that).
I am very fortunate to not live in the US so, probably WW3?
Pretty soon we won’t be able to even pay our bills, will max out CC’s, then what?
The economy only needs to get back on track and employers need to go back to giving adequate raises.
That a Democrats would control the House and Senate and presidency all I are
The polarity of opinions that are extremely hateful towards others, including the conspiracy theories that are driving them. I’ve already seen families and long-standing friendships and relationships get torn apart because of how explosive people have become towards each other. Soon, we’re going to be cutting ties after a single conversation and have zero social networks in our lives.
Wasting our time with territorialism and personal ego’s of world leaders while we should combine our global effort to reduce climate change.

Whether I’ll be able to find work, where am I going to live
Overall, War and violence I think. Violent civil strife
For me it’s being homeless /
Losing everything after being jobless
Honestly? That everything feels so uncertain… my biggest fear is losing the simple comforts we take for granted safety, peace, and a future that feels stable.
That my girlfriend will end up trapped in the US.
Not being able to see my bf for a long time, or maybe forever..
I’ll lose my rights that my grandparents fought so hard for. I’ll be damned if I ever need a man for a bank account.
Global economic recession and poverty
My fears are for my son.
Men
The insanity you see is a result of low effort everything. This includes the so-called quote “Elite”. Nothing is working well. It all is planned obsolescence in all areas of the world, save your individual essence, consciousness, and soul.
My fear is being aligned with my creator alone here.
C’est la vie.
That I wont live long enough to see it get better to experience improvement (that improvement will take lifetimes).
Armageddon.
Experiencing firsthand a life with no rights and my Hispanic friends being kidnapped.
