You can't have it both ways, you can't have a reich and anarchy at the same time
What I mean by that, is that germans for instance, "rat" on each others just like that, every time somebody does something against the "rules"/law
No exception it's in their culture
You can see how this can be a problem, and at the same time it's what makes their strength, in terms of general organization of the society
To inform on anyone for "pandemic" violations is not what respectable people do. If we're being honest, these new rules are merely a novel way to bludgeon one's enemies, receive brownie points, etc. Business as usual. I agree about this tendency being a double-edged sword--I can see it has its advantages--but, ultimately, who wants to live in a society operating out of groupthink? We're all becoming turncoats, subservient to the political and social mores of our "betters," and this makes us shitty at innovating, shitty at problem-solving, shitty at developing and maintaining compassion... Tattling about, ratting out, finking on, or tipping off anyone is not my idea of a healthy community. It's an extension of a community under "lockdown" where everyone is seen as some kind of inherent danger. Not a community at all, but a rat's nest, a hive, a den of thieves.

From your perspective yes, certainly
Now you have people, societies, where it's a duty, because they believe that not doing it will endanger the collective, and that's a cardinal sin to allow that to happen, in their culture
That's a fair point. I am wired to be contrary. I don't mind living around a bunch of people that are highly disagreeable so long as there are boundaries, mutual respect, a fair amount of independence, and plenty of humor... but that's not to say that other kinds of societies (China for instance) can't accomplish interesting things because they sacrifice individuality for security, or place some kind of moral imperative on social cohesion.
