It's almost as if obeying in advance is counterproductive.
Section from On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder: "Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
