What do you call this phenomenon? I think of the kulaks burning their harvest and I think of schools shutting down during desegregation in the US rather than integrate. Are there any other good examples? Why do people do this?

Most likely it's petulance. "Don't tell me what to do, and if you force me I'll ruin it for everyone" is the attitude here. Most people emotionally never develop past the toddler stage, and you can convince toddler to share a treat but if you force them, they might throw it on the ground or spit in it.
