I wish more people would engage with this at the cinema
Common courtesy and following the rules and situational awareness are not the same thing as "how will my choices affect the people around men in this moment."
You just described c/antiwork
A. That’s not what the social contract is, and 2. There is no social contract.
the notion that we all make minor sacrifices in our daily interactions in service of a “greater good” for everyone.
That's a talking point abusers and their supporters commonly use to convince victims to accept abuse and to continue to suffering.
No just society expects you to subordinate your unailenable right to defend yourself from violence, for example, but many states do, and they can and will arrest and imprison abuse victims for fighting back on those grounds.
Anyone who tells you to make sacrifices for the greater good is being immoral and should be ignored.
Greater goods do not require sacrifices.
