I think a lot of it comes from the internet, and “call out” culture…
If no one you know is willing to step up, and the internet (social media, mainly) suppresses you from seeing anyone else standing up, and anytime you do you get censored, shamed or even arrested… I imagine that contributes to the bizarre culture of enforced compliance we are seeing in many places…
At a guess.
It is odd, though, because even in fairly… Similar, neighboring countries and states, you can have completely different behaviour (Japan vs Taiwan and Korea; Poland and Slovakia vs the Czech Republic and Germany; Paraguay vs Brazil and Argentina; arguably even Mexico vs the rest of North America)…
