When a sovereign government takes a policy decision, good or bad, and the concerned citizens find a morally dubious way to circumvent decision, what is the reaction of the media and commentators ? They express contempt toward the assholes ? No way ! They poke fun at said government.
World is a sad place.
From what you're saying if both the decisions of the government and the citizens are wrong, we should attribute more blame to the citizens. Are you saying we should automatically give the government the benefit of the doubt instead of the citizens?
