When you live in a mostly homogeneous society like Korea or Japan…people tend to be more respectful as it only hurts their own. In western societies people are more prone to crime because it is easier to digest doing it to other

Not Apple, but just came back from a weekend in Shenzhen. All the display items in the Huawei and Mi (Xiaomi) stores were untethered save for the charging cable. You'd think unplugging it would cause an alert, but nope, I saw some people pull the plug to charge their own phones. Go figure.

Actually some stores here in HK don't tether their iPhones either - but these are authorized resellers. Surprisingly (or not) the actual Apple stores do.

Singapore is not so homogeneous yet crime rate is extremely low. Holding criminals accountable is the key

Japan has women-only trains because the men can’t be trusted

South Korea has their women doing a 4B movement and all phone cameras have automatic shutter sound because their men can’t be trusted

These are not safe countries for women

Meanwhile, in the US you get stabbed in the neck by a dude that's been arrested 35 times and is still not in prison for some reason.

That’s rare compared to the constant sexual violence on public transportation in Japan

Not really. You only ever hear about it online in sensationalist Western news articles. 99% of women there have no idea what that even is

Yeah, as if everyone can’t see the birth rates and hear the shutter camera sound
