Never did I encounter that doing nothing was the best solution.

I didn't notice anyone suggesting "doing nothing." You insist on framing this as all or nothing.

The trend is toward more interdependence and the bullies and the scammers have to be put in check.

In this case, the reality is that increasingly none of us can live on our own and we rely on a vast network of people just merely to survive.

We can interact just fine in our interdependence as long as the transactions are commerce. Commerce is inherently win-win and we're good at that. Sharing commons is a different paradigm. You can't apply one to the other.

The French and Scandinavians are homogeneous and the Canadians, docile. We don't have the temperament for sharing the commons nicely.
