Sometimes not doing it may cost you. When the society is in terminal stage, that is.

When everyone does "preemptive obedience", just not doing it and politely asking "ok, but who you are, please provide some identification and such, or at least explain me how you are different from a random person demanding it, I don't know who you are and why are you demanding this" might cause dangerous levels of fury in someone who is not a random person, unfortunately, just treats a request for their correct identification (which they would be able to provide) and reasons as an insult.

To not let it reach that level, you shouldn't, yes.

Actually maybe we will have a period of history when Germans save everyone from tyranny. I've read they are thinking of returning conscription and are growing military industries rapidly. Maybe for a good cause this time. Should be their turn. LOL.
