The west was one of the highest trust societies in history until it started down the path of anxiety rather than fear.
Fear based societies can be incredibly cohesive because the consequence of lacking cohesion is death. You'll be overrun by barbarians or you'll die of starvation or the elements. Anxiety based societies don't fear anything concrete. They're just vaguely worried that something a little bad might happen.
By contrast, anxiety based societies are distrustful and ultimately suicidal. The Roman empire was highly anxiety based right before it fell, with the people in the capitol far more concerned about how to climb the social ladder with no regard for the fact that very real things could destroy the empire.
Witness today where people are anxious about climate change 150 years from now but have no concern for food and fuel shortages today that can, are, and will continue killing the world's poorest people.
