Well that depends on what you define as "rising up" and which oppressed peoples your talking about.

Rising up could mean taking legal action, or refusing to sit at the back of the bus, etc.
In way, your making a conquest this way, as your conquering your oppression and the oppressive laws of the oppressor!

It looks very bad and distasteful to waste disabled people, as well. In some instances, a massacre is too distasteful because the group rising up is truly innocent and powerless.

Sometimes that does not matter, of course. But sometimes it does..
