I live in a murder capital that&#x27;s in top 10 of violent crime. I rarely deal with a mugging and basic methods let me avoid it. Pre-9&#x2F;11, I didn&#x27;t worry about secret police putting the FBI on me for being a dissenter or CIA kidnapping me at an airport then torturing me. That kind of stuff happens here now but very limited. Also happens in Singapore with zero protections, accountability, or even media reporting far as people tell me.<p>We&#x27;re over here doing all kinds of unpopular things to try to get us privacy, better healthcare, better this, better that. We have the opportunity with 90+% too apathetic to join. (sighs) Over there, you only have the opportunity to do what their regime of specific ideology allows you to do. If you don&#x27;t, they will do more than give you outvote you, cite you, or try you in court. You won&#x27;t stand a chance.<p>Leads me to believe you must live a very predictable, non-threatening-to-regime lifestyle to be safe over there. Activists I know in Singapore do <i>not</i> feel safe. :)
