If you see shit no you didn't.

If you're willing to do something no you aren't.

You are normal, you fear and respect the administration, and you obey all laws

In Dutch we have a saying 'horen, zien, zwijgen' which unpoetically translates to 'hearing, seeing, silence'. It is mainly used by people with bad intentions who do not want to be ratted out but I think this is a very wise strategy if you're in a situation where you and your fellow citizens are oppressed and you want to stay safe.
