You’re free to choose the authoritarianism instead of the personal risk, but then you can’t claim that you’re resisting, because you’re not; it’s either or.
There’s “personal risk” and then there’s losing your livelihood.
And there’s getting shot by regime snipers. I’m not trying to make an “others had it worse” argument, but let’s not have any illusions about the scale of action and the amount of risk necessary for America to get out of this. The more you wait the more likely it becomes for this happen in the next protest where you live. Also, as I said, they can’t fire everyone. Maidan and Arab Spring protesters returned to their jobs just fine after their revolutions.
