    Speaking for the US, there is selection bias for violence in the news. Most people have no need to fear violence in their daily lives. There is sometimes aggression, especially from cops and others with delusions of authority. But it’s rare that it escalates to outright physical violence.

    That said, and speaking to the meme, if you don’t pay to live violence will be swift and unambiguous.
