@Hyolobrika and i wouldn’t characterize conformity of an oppressed group as necessarily being “too scared/weak/oppressed to rebel”. one might also say “too wise to rebel”. the choice to conform to a state so imperfect + unjust “oppressive” is an accurate modifier might well under some circumstances be wiser, not just in a narrow sense of avoiding pain but in a longer-view sense of working towards much more just, less oppressive outcomes, and comparing against actual alternatives.
