Sobre IBD

What exactly is dissent and why do some people have the courage to dissent while others are passive spectators? When is dissent patriotic and noble, and when is it traitorous? When is religious dissent a matter of conscience and when is it heresy? Must dissent always be non-violent? Can dissenting action be propelled by a higher law?
