Yeah, this that you have said is basically very true. 
Nonetheless, you must also take into account that this supposed propensity to messages of doom and devastation. They have not only something to do with feelings of loneliness, insignificance, abandonment and isolation. But they also have a lot to do with having lived long enough as to have seen too many absurd and irrational things already.
Like for example, watching the unlimited stubbornness, obduracy & stupidity of human beings. Like what we can observe today in all the political leaders of NATO and all of Europe in general. And like the one that you can surely appreciate more closely in the chancellor and prime minister of your own country.
I don't know.
I once heard that politicians go with the wind that blows. Depending on where it blows the strongest, that's where they turn. If they perceive something from the people that they think the people want, they will do it.
They can be very wrong, they can be right. Whenever you personally think they are wrong, you are against the government. If you think they are right, you are in favour of them. You can think that they don't represent you at all. And you wouldn't be wrong about that either.
I'm no longer very interested in politics. I'm also old enough to see things happening again. The doomsday news and also the euphoria of "progress".
I'm more interested in family, relationships and my husband now, I always have been, but I thought I had to think differently. I'm pro-family and if we people have more children again and look after each other more, the state won't need it and certainly not companies.
Every good things have an end, and so has madness.
