    owns a ring camera, a second ring camera for his backyard, a shotgun, an AR-15, and a german shepherd because he’s afraid of a break-in while living in an isolated upper middle class suburb in the rural midwest

      Well when you’ve spent your whole life hating any form of community or reciprocal social obligation to your fellow man, it’s hard not to find other people scary as you’ve never built any trust in a stranger or had positive interactions with people since high school. The whole American way of life is avoidance of close social interaction, you get up in your low density suburban house, get into your personal bubble of a car, drive isolated and hating all your fellow drivers to work, then work, drive back to an impersonal strip mall to do your grocery shopping, then drive back to your island of solitude home, where you stay watching tv, alone. Of course these people are scared of other humans.
