Its not really separate. As people fear they turn to the right, which births more autocracies and ironically makes the situation worse with their policies.

How do you explain periods where there was prosperity and an autocratic shift at the same time? Like Early Modern Europe or present-day China.

Are fear and prosperity exclusive? Or can your nation be prosperous while it is fearing climate change?

Hmm, I guess.

That being said, where I live, there's fear but it's not really about climate change. Yet, this is a global trend. I don't know, I guess I don't really have a better idea, but just fear seems a bit too simple.

Fear is the mind-killer, the little death that brings total obliteration.
