Survival, discretion and having plans matters. Martyrs can only do so much to rally people to a cause. What’s the point of being yet another body in a Russian gulag if the govt manages to effectively erase you and everything you stood for? Loudly complaining and going to jail, with your family and friends being censored and monitored by the govt, will help how?

As an American I’m using my freedom of speech until they forcibly try to take it away. And then I will die fighting.
