I think you are letting the things you read on the internet affect you too much.
The reality is that nowhere is completely safe. Instead of trying to run away we would all be better off trying to make our home countries better as best we can.

Life is basically as good as it’s ever been in recorded history, significantly better than it was 100 or even 50 years ago, and getting better at an accelerating rate. (Because it’s the internet i want to clarify that i say that completely without sarcasm)

Agreed.
Objectively almost every metric is better. Some significantly better.
Subjective fear mongering attracts views and clicks though. We all need to be cognizant of that fact.

Sounds like you never lived abroad.
