Much of the world relies on general well-behavedness. The whole Andon principle doesn’t work if you’ve got asshole employees. With the public you don’t have a choice. You have to stop the trains because otherwise everyone will murder you if it turned out to be true. So better to be defensive.
When the west devolves into a low trust society because of things like this and the relentless importing of people from such, it will lose the advantage of being a high trust society. Equality for all!
