Its about consent.

OK, we don't consent, we accede. We effectively consent to accede because that's what citizens in a democracy do. We don't consent to each law but to a principle and an attitude.

How does that matter whether you concede or accede to this law? As long as you accede and either pay the fine or go to jail quietly, you're not dead. And if you're dead it's because you were stupid for not acceding.
