the problem is far too many people are terrified of the non-Western world and think they're dicing with death even stepping foot in most non-Western countries.

Which is hilarious because when I visited the U.S., the only thing I could repeatedly think about was the multiple ways I could be fucked over there. Being stopped by a cop, gunned down by a chud, or hell, have a medical emergency. Maybe this is paranoia from constant exposure to the atrocities in the U.S. but like, there are hundreds of instances of it and the Empire doesn't even try to hide it, so why shouldn't I believe it? Meanwhile I don't have these fears visiting other countries.
