A dialogue from my favorite Edward Abbey book "Good News" strengthens your point:
Sam: “‘…Listen, boss, I learned one thing at Harvard. There’s one thing wrong with always fighting for freedom, and justice, and decency. And so forth.’
Burns looks up at the blazing sky. ‘Only one thing? What’s that?’
‘You almost always lose.’
The old man laughs, reaches out, and squeezes Sam’s near arm. ‘Well, hellfire, Sam, what does that have to do with it?"
Resistance is fertile (forget who said that)
