I would yes.
I have known many people who lived under a totalitarian dictatorship. My parents in law lived under Nazi occupation for 5 years. My mother in law was a nurse, working in a hospital. Certainly she resented the German occupation, and the fate of the Jewish families in her home village haunted her, these were people she knew, not just people she read about. But during that time she lived her life, restricted though it was, she took care of her grandmother, she met her friends, she did the things people in their early 20s do. The worst thing she personally suffered was lack of food in the winter of 1945.
My father in law worked in the harbour when the war broke out. Unlike his future wife he worked under direct German supervision, with armed soldiers patrolling. He resented that too, but again he lived, and I don't mean that he survived the war I mean that he spent the 5 years living his life. At one stage he was put on a train to be taken to Germany to work. His mother challenged this and he was released. His brother was not so lucky, he spent 15 months as a slave worker in Germany. He survived, returned home and his kids and grand kids are around to tell the tale.
I have a Polish friend whose mother lived under Russian occupation as a child. They had a Russian soldier billeted in their house, he was very young and afraid, terrified that they would kill him in his sleep. He was amazed by how wealthy they were. In fact even by the standards of 1940s Poland they were poor peasants, they had a packed earth floor in their house. But they had chickens and pigs and ate meat daily. That made them rich in his eyes.
