You're just bitter that the Conan option wasn't available. Which, of course, is the best choice.
But there are people who make the choice that it's better to be oppressed and alive than to be dead. I agree with this idea, ONLY as long as the reason to accept oppression is in order to buy time to overthrow your oppressor.
However, these people value peace more than freedom. While I believe both are important, I can not recognize as peace, a situation where the rights and liberties of the people are deprived and destroyed. To me, liberty is the most important gift God gave us, and is to be most fiercely guarded. Only when liberty is respected, can there be a proper peace.
