What's left of a rebellious attitude if nobody either praises or deplores it?

Question

is it still rebellious?

Answer 1

Only to itself, and having itself as an audience it will probably just keep up the same until it decides it has had enough.

Answer 2

Of course it's still rebellious...kind of like my Fu Manchu moustache that I haven't shaved off even when I was looking for new employment. Nobody praised it, nobody really deplored it (though it may have made some less likely to offer me a job), but it was still rebellious. Hey, just living the way I want to live is its own rebellion.

Answer 3

To rebel against themselves.

Maybe run straight into a brick wall with a rebel yell.

There will always be rebellious behavior as long as we have free thought, there is always more to discover.

Without outlaws there would be no new laws.

Answer 4

Well there are things to rebel against, but most rebels these days can be bought. Capitalism still needs taming, but a way has been found to tame rebels: offer them membership to your club, repeatedly.

Answer 5

a rebel doesnt care if they are praised or deplored thats what makes them rebels in the first place.

Answer 6

If no one is praising or deploring your rebellious attitude, it's not rebellious enough.

Tip: set something/someone on fire.

Answer 7

If they notice it then that should be enough...whether they comment on it either way or not is immaterial.

Rebellious behaviour is difficult to ignore.  Now why those persons are keeping quiet can be puzzling,  even worrying.  Maybe they are planning and plotting for a coup of their own...in retaliation!

Answer 8

Rebellious for the sake of being rebellious???

Everything has been done. There are a lot of so-called rebels but what are they rebelling against???  Is there anything to rebel against?  I think so but it doesn't seem like it. It seems very superficial to me and shallow.

It's better to think indepdently and just do what you think is best. If it's rebellious then so be it.

Answer 9

An attitude has nothing to do with the recognition it receives or doesn't receive.  

Rebellion without recognition would be the same.

... Rebel without a cause....

Answer 10

...rebellion becomes a tornado...one does not need to be hit by it to know it's got a life of it's own...

Answer 11

Completely self absorb with a false sense of reality.

Answer 12

The praise of fools is a signal for strengthening of resolve. The deploring by the majority indicates a correct path.

If neither of those happens, it is irrelevant because the multitudes are not aware of the forces that contain their lives.

Answer 13

yes  a rebel is someone who goes against the norm and does not need  to have approval of disapproval. they are rebellious because they are rebellious
