Although I do have a homicidal streak when I get really angry, I don't think I can bring myself to do things like that because I still retain a conscience.
These are the people who lost confidence in themselves and their personal beliefs because everyone is deriding them and they have nobody to talk to, or rather, nobody wants to listen or understand them.
If this article of Sankaku is to be believed, it could be due to how the society functions with its dysfunctions; hiercachies and adherence to "societal norms" make for more peaceful societies, yes, but it still destroys the personal element of humanity.

I don't think there is anything wrong, in fact I do see people who aren't bothered to even learn the most basic of conversational English, no matter how broken it will come out of their mouths, as frogs in their wells. Broken English is absolutely fine, but not wanting to learn to speak the most basic of the lingua franca is like being elitist and not wanting to talk to anyone else that isn't of their own race and culture.
That is why I respect Hong Kong-ers - their fluency with their main language of Cantonese make them terrible English speakers, but they still do their best to speak "Queen's English", although with the difficult-to-comprehend Cantonese accent. Sometimes I don't know what to say when conversing with my HK friends in English because their sentence construction and grammar are accurate and correct, but their tonality is mind-boggling.
