I think in a time like that I couldn’t be silent.

Honestly, nobody really knows until they are in such a position. I'd like to think I'd be noble and rebel but honestly I think I'd just try and stay quiet and under the radar. The older I've gotten, the more cynical I've become about positive change.

I'm more worried with making sure me and my family are in a good position. And if I start posting dissent online and end up in a gulag or just get dissapeared for it.. it's not quite conducive to that goal.

Yeah, I thought about it more after commenting. I can't know for certain what I would do given a bad timeline. Maybe I'd just go offline, spread fliers, something.
