Sorry, but you and your family need therapy.
If he's twelve and worried about all that, you're doing something wrong.

Agreed. This kid is already seriously messed up and sounds like a future school shooter. Bad parenting is the blame here
I'm sure that's what the Jews said in the 1930s.

I have 3.
As parents it's up to us to temper what our kids see and hear. We need to explain to them that what they're seeing and hearing is "doom porn" pushed by a group of people who do it for views, which translates into money. Things could be a lot better, but we're not in danger of being rounded up and killed.
Thank you

That is absolute rubbish. Kids these days are exposed to all sorts of media that we were not. This kind of accusation is naive and uncalled for.

Why are you right-wing extremists?
That would worry me to be honest no wonder the child is concerned.
Small piece of advice, but if the kid can see an issue, maybe its because there is one.

Many people don’t put two and two together to see the big picture.
You probably know deep down the fear sells.
Your child, and most adults are being spoon fed that fear.
Maybe do a little research on the fear from the past and show your kid the hype vs the reality.
The Cold War.
Nuclear war fears.
New ice age.
Five years to end climate change,,,,said 20 years ago
Fukushima will kill the ocean.
Chernobyl!
Covid 19
Zika virus
AIDS
I’m sure with a little thought I can come up with a dozen more.
Either way try showing the kid news articles and videos of fear mongering history.
Some perspective will do him some good.

And you do realise that the rest of the post Saibot3052 sums up the parent's feelings on the matter.
I mean if I'm incorrect and the parents are not of the extremist sorts then i apologize.
But at the end of the day it seems to me to be a monkey see monkey do sort of scenario.
Teach a child to love and they will do so, teach them the opposite and they will predominantly follow that ethos.
The little fellow is not happy, or at least that's how it appears, and the reason seems to be fear of how he thinks people see him and his family, which there is apt to be a reason for by my guess.
Oh trust me , I am ignoring most of the doom and gloom nowadays as it was getting to be too much. I do feel much less stressed about it all , now for my child.

I remember who you are/were on here now, you and your son. Worrying all the time about when SHTF. I would say your son is most likely picking up much of his fears from you. So here’s what needs to happen.
Live your life as best as you can, WE are all going to die! No point worrying about it. Rather what you need to focus on is gratitude for what you have, compare yourself to someone permanently disabled, or any number of people a whole lot worse off than you are. Focus on good things you have going on, cultivate your resilience, diamonds are only made through extreme pressure.
Focus on the things you can do, not what you can’t, you aren’t going to change the plans of the WEF or such, sure it good to plan and prepare for the worst, but don’t expect it, fear is the mind killer, don’t ever give in to it. Fear and stress are the underlying causes of ill health.
Detox from fear and stress! You’re a human being, made of the same stuff as the stars, and capable of shining just as bright.
The enemy always wants you to feel hopeless, to despair, and wallow in your own self pity. Don’t ever give them that satisfaction, never give in.
