Developed countries are in ample supply with things like good national health care, safety net benefits systems that actually work, small businesses in abundance and taxes that aren't outrageous. And a lack of significant risk of a random burglar shooting you in your own home, because the burglar doesn't need to carry a gun in case the home owner has one, so has no reason to risk the extra jail time for carrying he weapon.
You just happen not to live in one of those places, so you're vulnerable to doom-mongers misleading you.
