    Without exaggeration, doing it back then risked much the same.

    These were brave acts then. They’d be brave acts now.

      Yup.

      What changed is not the risk, just how we perceive it. Not long ago living under fascism was literally considered a fate worse than death

          Granted, but people were also just less afraid of putting their face to their actions and being “hunted” by the enemy
