Whether a rebel is with or without a cause, one may wonder if the cause has the rebel for an effect or if the cause is indeed a reason, motive, ground for rebellion. It remains doubtful wheter or not a cause is served by sheer rebellion. A rebel may serve a cause, but it should not trigger his rebellion. A particular state of things, proposal, decision, law, rule, abuse, idea, order, may be considered as legitimate triggers for rebellion. A »cause« such as »helping the poor« is hardly a motivation for rebellion, while the extent of poverty may be.
