>If you stay silent, supporters of the status quo can simply say “see? people are happy with it; if they weren’t more would complain”.

And their fallacious reasoning should be laughed at. Loudly and often.

The alternate is even MORE conductive to enforcing the status quo. When people have to be maximally political all the time, they either have to constantly deal with the blowback inherent to sharing ideas that aren't palatable to the status quo, or outwardly agree with the status quo (for convenience and/or safety).

If everyone voices an opinion (but not necessarily THEIR opinion), supporter of the status quo can simply say "see? people are happy with it; if they weren't more people would be dissenting"

So you agree that silence is the wrong choice?
