That choice, the choice that we can fight or flee provides incentive for our oppressors for not demanding too much from us.
Those choices put a certain market price we can reasonably expect from forces around us. Those choices are the only reasons that we are not oppressed all the way.
Countries whose taxes are too high will see their capitals fly to other countries. Countries that oppress consensual acts will be full with corruption and dictatorship. Countries that tolerate murders and burglars but punish porn and prostitution will be full with violence.
Countries that prohibit gambling, liquors, and drugs, will see that such things exist anyway. However, all those protection money will go to corrupt cops and mafia rather than legitimate businesses.
Countries that judge people by their morality and intent rather than by results and productivity will have a lot of hypocrisy. If we want people to have good intention, we need to judge others based on result.

Why force and deceit are often more politically correct than consent in getting a mate? What should you do to help your self?
