That would depend on the story. I am only responding to you saying they are rebelling just because they don't like a form of government that you say is not ruled by an evil person. That means the rebellion is unnecessary.

Just because you disagree with their viewpoint does not mean you should automatically see them as evil.
It's not a matter of disagreeing. It's a matter of the conflict they are causing.
