Simple: Third World shit holes have poor standards of living; it puts people on edge.
The first world is still comfortable. Why revolt?You’ll lose your car, your home, electricity, running water, well-stocked grocery stores, etc.
Aldous Huxley, the author of ‘Brave New World, critized Orson Welles for his depiction of complete totalitarianism in ‘Ninteen Eighty-Four’. In a letter to Welles, Huxley wrote:
“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World."
"Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience."
I’ve come to believe Huxley to be correct. Why threaten violence upon the population when you can just promise them all their needs are satiated with cruddy, addictive food, brainwashing entertainment, and free money. And all they have to do it’s sign away their right to choose, to self determination, and to privacy.

Orson Welles didn't write nineteen eightyfour. George Orwell did.
