Only for our would-be masters.
You wish. Let's take the Civil War as an example. That was as significant a rebellion as you are likely to see. And yet, some even believe that the national power wanted a pretext for armed conflict. Even if they didn't, let's look at the outcome. Setting aside the awful loss of life, what were the political consequences? Did the conflict enlarge or diminish the power of the states? Did it enlarge or diminish the power of the national government?
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Sun Tzu
Armed resistance would be a boon for the national power. The outcome is woefully easy to predict. The armed resistors are put down. They are demonized as racist, atavistic, extremists. The national power uses the conflict as a pretext for grabbing even more power. The ideals of the resistors become discredited among the common people, and success becomes that much more difficult to attain.
