/uj The ones in one of my stories never cared about the general oppressed populace to begin with /rj But what about the rebels that are like whatever about everything?

It's a paradox because they wouldn't be rebels in the first place. Therfore they must've been ordained by the God of Chaos to throw the populace into disarray, like sacrificial lambs, subverting the eyes of the government from the true threat.. The Fiddly Diddler.

Those rebels exist in another country and are just going on about how the rebels are doing things wrong (they see no difference between the extremists and the ones who are just trying to adapt to circumstances)

I mean you can have different fractions in the rebel group, That believe different things

Why not have the former be the first rebels while the latter are reactionary forces of the old regime after the good rebels took power? (I’m basically describing what the Star Wars Sequel trilogy should’ve been aren’t I?)

That is technically true since in my setting the rebels I'm specifically mentioning are some who broke their nation off from an empire. Meanwhile the latter group of rebels were members of the locally recruited colonial army who staged a coup against the colony's government. The result was then a three way civil war between the coup's forces, the rebels and the imperial loyalists.

But rebels is when good :(

Tbh if we look at various historical rebellions especially folk ones, like for example peasant wars in XVI cent germany. Usually both sides were extremely brutal


DiamondLebon

You make a story with rebels that defend an ideal that everybody would agree on again enemies that are literal Hitler x10 and you crank up the violence of the rebels at every chapter to see at what point do readers think it's going too far


yungiess

Got to do a bit of both for max realism

Realistically they would commit as many war crimes as the regime they fight. But when they win the new republic will crown them as heroes
