@JessTheUnstill Also, regardless of whether we're talking the elite or the rest of us, "don't comply in advance" doesn't mean refusing things that have been demanded. That would be "don't comply", not "don't comply in advance".
Rather, "don't comply in advance" means don't guess what will make the fash "like you" (spoiler: they won't anyway) and rush to the front of the line to kiss their assess hoping to get some advantage over other people who don't do that.
