No, it's not an excuse. However there is no excuse for refusing to fight tyranny. If you are standing in shit and have to walk through a field of shit to get out, it is better to walk through the shit than to continue standing in it. Thus it is better to get rid of tyranny than to stand and watch them abuse their citizens. You mights get your trousers coverred in shit as you slosh through, but it's better than standing there forever.
