11. they're afraid because they have bad consciences
people who live in gated communties, who act like they are constantly threatened and are irrational are, imo, trying to suppress their knowledge that they do not deserve all the things they are given as a fluke of birth, while others, by that same fluke, have drastically different options.

Yes, the media plays on fears, but those fears come from a deep down knowledge that they haven't earned their exalted status at the expense of their fellow citizens.

They can only stand themselves when they isolate themselves and deny the wretchedness at the core of their souls.
