A small mercy of losing your country to oligarchs is that you’re under no obligation to save them from themselves. Well, until the mandatory conscription stage, anyway.
That’s history repeating once again. The rich abuse the poor, pick a fight, conscript the poor and are then shocked when the abused farmers would just stand aside when the attack came. Smart nobility knew this is a two way even street.

Simple desertion happens a lot more. Mutiny is also common enough. But this is the cleanest standing aside.
