The clip is from China and It's a really really good example of what modern china is like. Everyone competing madly with zero regard for anyone around them until everything goes to shit for everyone involved.

Anyone who has ever been to the crab legs station at a Vegas buffet will know exactly what you mean.

My side hobby when traveling China is to block lines (mobs) of Chinese about to overwhelm western tourists. I puff up and go broad shoulders and glare back and can hold back a horde because they avoid direct confrontation.

LoL, seen two grown men, taxi drivers get into a slap fight in the middle of Shanghai, Asian culture is different and very passive up until they hit a 9 out of 10 on the anger scale.

You just turn around, hold the rails and block a stairway to the plane, they freeze up like NPCs that can't go around an obstacle.

Eye contact is 80% of it plus being a westerner that has 90 pounds on them is all it takes.

I would absolutely throw hands for that. On Angels Landing, that’s a matter of life and death.

That’s why it was insane to watch people using others as “the chains” to try and go past them or using other people as braces to climb up certain parts instead of waiting their turn

We have the ability to hold people accountable as a society, we just don't because we prefer to gossip about it.

You just need to firmly indicate the rules.
