I have a question though the question is what you should do. Should you rebel?

Our forefathers rebelled in 1776 because Britain was not protecting natural rights.
It all depends on the local situation. One person rebelling seldom brings change, but if enough people rebel, by refusing to comply with a law, for example, or even take up arms, change is possible (but not guaranteed). If there are free elections, voting for candidates that reflect your views is a good thing to do. Packing up and leaving to go to a better place is often possible, too, if there is no hope of changing things where one is.
