I suppose not playing could be to just accept that you're going to get fucked regardless, and so don't spend any time or energy on politics as it'd be a waste compared to doing anything else.

The idea that that could be the least-bad strategy is pretty depressing, but I guess it's not impossible.

The only move, at that point, is to emigrate to somewhere without the authority to imprison you forever without trial, somewhere the phones aren't tapped.

It's not easy, but it is necessary.
