I think it is an intensely personal decision
I'm not sure it is actually political in the sense you understand it
I think those monks were overcome with the suffering of the world
it is actually more of a martyrdom to live with the knowledge of the suffering world
than to try to remove oneself from it
By trying to escape
you doom yourself to more suffering
at least in the Buddhist tradition
as I understand it
