True but we're not just talking about one martyr. It would be dozens if not hundreds. Much more difficult to keep a lid on it.

I guess it depends on the individual and what they want out of life? If the goal is to just survive then pretending to go along is probably for the best. I suppose when talking about revolution anything that slows down the machine is beneficial

I think keeping positions of power would be essential for resistance.

Absolutely! Unfortunately they're will be sacrifices and some of those sacrifices might be leaders in the resistance group. That will sometimes hurt the cause and other times it could benefit the cause.
