What I mean is that if you belive you would have acted diferently than the multitude (billion+) of people living in totalitarian states if you where in their position you are most propably wrong.
Statistically most of the people in these conditions goes with the flow, very few rebel openly, or even in secret.

There needs to be a uniting factor for people to take the risc of plunging themself and their families into certain danger.
Take the Soviet union for example. The Glasnost started the way and when the counter-glasnost coup happened it was the signal for the people to rise. Even then it took time for most people to dare to take action..

What "words are cheap" mean is that it's pretty easy to sit in a secure position i n ademocratic state and complain that people in other situation doessn't risk their lifes instead of living under opression.

I'm not sure what I would do. I hope I would fight against the totalitarian rule but statisticly I would most propably accept the situationa s it is and stay alive.
