Try telling that to someone who actually has a lot to lose by taking either path. Say they are too poor to leave and in an authoritarian state. Or maybe they face retaliation at the workplace in an otherwise free country for their activism.

Each person needs to make these decisions for themselves while you are getting all high and mighty and calling people immoral for not either:

A) submitting to authority unquestioningly

-or-

B) risking everything to change the laws.
