I think there are not just economic but religious winds pushing the dangerous place story. There are quite a few theologies that require the world to go to hell.

You may be on to something there. The real danger isn't climbing trees or whether your kid should sleep in a crib. No, the real danger is when you hear a voice from god tell you to go to the mountain and kill your son. That's some crazy shit.

If one is a pre-millennialist the world is required to be dangerous and getting more so . This makes progressive the worst possible thing to cal a person it means they are standing against the will of god for everything to be shit.
