Quote: "You clearly have no experience with struggle When pushed to a corner, they would accept tigh. "
A persons Fight or Flight instincts can be easily controlled instilling enough fear to keep the population under control. Look at history and all the oppressive dictators, you can clearly see that those people know what they are doing, instilling enough fear to keep them settled yet not enough to warrant a revolt. Do I really need to get into the "Human Kind are Cowards" debate?
Quote: "Only natural, he offers to kill the "oppressive cylons"."
He was their leader from the beginning, so say the cylons. But every instance of thigh being in command has shown his failure to lead, he cracks under the pressure and makes horrible choices. He is a likely candidate to start a insurgency, but to lead it? No, his choices and actions clearly reflect his inability to do so.
Quote: "*sigh* The new cylons are exactly human pretty much. You cant tell them apart at dissection from humans. Which means they have human brains. Which means they feel emotion (no matter how hard they suppress it, just like humans)... They aren’t the centurions."
It was announced that the 'new' cylons were made to operate in unison and were developed to reject any personal feelings and or emotions (Not sure about that exactly, but similar to what was said). They did this so they would be easy to control, and wouldn't become self-aware. It is true that there are 'break-outs' of emotion occurring which warrants an impending cylon civil war, but you ignore the fact that these occurrences, even though becoming more frequent, are rare.
Further more, rage over death can only occur if death is permenate, but a few hours later they would resurrect their dead and be on their merry way.
Quote: "Again, they are pushed to a corner. If you are trying to survive, you don’t think very well. You don’t plan as great, as if you have infinite time."
These insurgents aren't civies, they are MILITARY. If military personal could not think under pressure how many would even make it out of a war? And time, oh my god, they have all the time in the world to plan an attack, but it doesn't take a lot of time to plan a coordinated attack. Planning an attack under battlefield conditions is CRUCIAL in many military operations, situations may have changed then what they trained for and they need to adapt quickly and conform to a new plan.
Quote: "Dude, seriously think about it. The cylons killed their worlds. BILLIONS OF PEOPLE! You don’t just stop and say their own people are worse. The cylons have hate built up. It is hard to get rid of."
Adolph Hitler killed lots of people. Why didn't the Jews get up and blow his ass apart? Why didn't they stop HIDING and go out with firebombs, why were they all COWARDS? People will CONFORM to any dictator, no matter how cruel, as long as they see that doing so may allow them to live. And when they are in fear of the dictator they will cower. Only when truly stressed will they revolt, and a revolt has to be in unison, three insurgents would quickly be turned in if it meant that the suffering of others would be extinguished. The JEWS (I think) even turned in other Jews in an attempt to save themselves. This is HISTORY, historic facts that cannot be mutated into a version you would like.
I would accept your point of view if history didn't completely obliterate it. Simply put, it is impossible for this situation to manifest itself. The cylons would have seen the clear pattern of aggression. As they became more aggressive, their insurgents resorted to more aggressive tactics. Any dictator knows when to let go, it isn’t about controlling the population, it’s about keeping the population from rebelling. These insurgents are TERRORISTS, if the guy next door is heating fertilizer and making nitrous oxide do I tell on him? Or do I let him blow my family up?

Wisemen are hard to find, they are tarnished by sayings and quotes that are not of their true nature.
