It’s an understandable reaction, but it’s not ideal or effective. In fact, depression and apathy is one of the key mechanisms of keeping a group oppressed.
Fighting to maintain power is costly and risky, but if someone can make people give up hope and stop struggling, then they can do what they want to them.
