In Switzerland, where cleanliness and order are the highest priorities, the idyll of a proud Swiss can quickly be disturbed. As soon as something falls outside the frame of their norm, they're upset about it. With killer arguments like: “ I have to pay/ work too." or “ If everyone would do this/that.", there is always a critical look at everyone else and their actions. In different classes the citizens are held, to compete and control each other. In the form of officials, controllers, ticket inspectors, judges or cops they even earn their living. And the wheel keeps turning. So it's not uncommon that also decent good citizens turn out to be state protectors when they ran after you and try to stop you or snitch on you. because the state and its property must be protected.
Imagine if everyone would break out of their norm...
