When you have no other challenges or meaningful pursuits to focus on, you may become susceptible to fear-mongering. This tactic involves the spread of fear, often by using exaggerated or false information, to influence the behavior and attitudes of others. We saw something similar happening during our elections, when the opposition fear-mongered about constitutional changes, it caused widespread anxiety and rattled the public.

Without constructive outlets or goals, this fear can escalate, leading to increased tension and hostility.

This eventually becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of violence, ultimately destabilising the community.
