This is how “high trust” societies function. It’s probably how our kids would be living if globalists weren’t destroying our country through immigration.
Eh... Japan is an autistically bureaucratic and collectivist (not in the commie way, but the way that their community enforces social norms) country. Imagine losing your job and your reputation because you missed the trashcan or something.
If anything this makes me wonder how paranoid the average Jap has to be about stepping out of line. This dude's life is probably ruined in the long-term over this.
I love some of their artistic/entertainment products and music, but I prefer my freedom and more reasonable social norms, thanks.
He didn't miss the trashcan though. I don't know why we have to misrepresent what he did. He committed petty theft several times. We can argue whether that's worthy of firing him and taking his retirement payment, but let's at least be honest about the facts.
Er... did you not read the post? Nowhere is there misrepresentation. I clearly call it a wrong, but its such a minor wrong that its a joke to go after and take such extreme action against.
What that comparison was meant to represent was the piddling nature of the "offense". Missing the trashcan is an offense, Its called littering. If you want a more intentional-looking piddling crime, then jaywalking would be a fine replacement.
Imagine if your life got ruined because of some bullshit like that. To me there is no argument, you'd have to be unhinged in some way to think that's an acceptable form of retribution.
The crime was theft, not littering or jaywalking. Missing the trashcan is only littering if you leave it there, and jaywalking does not deprive or defraud a business owner. Why bother listing other crimes rather than the one committed? He committed petty theft.
I'm in the US and my office specifically lists theft of office supplies as a workplace violation, which can become a fireable offense. If having a reputation as a thief degrades the reputation of the school and its ability to interact with parents, then he has to deal with how the school and teaching board decide to handle his crime.
I think it's far more unhinged to "guarantee" employment or licensing.
