A failed rebellion usually brings more harm than good.
Let's face it. There is no way in hell the squeerats can win.
They can cause serious damage to the human side, yes, but it only makes things worse for them when the human take revenge.
Basically it will cause a ton of meaningless deaths and nothing will really change (except their lives will become harsher than before for sure).
So is some illusion of freedom really worth it?

Let's face it, a revolution was bound to happen the moment a queerrat fist caught and tapped into the vast well of knowledge that is a false minoshiro. Surely that is an offence punishable by death. It is for the children. Yakomaru being suspicious or no, the stated reason for the extermination of the Robby Fly colony was that they knew too much and had gotten too powerful.

No matter how much you wax rhetoric, it really comes down to that. Both sides appear just as eager to off the other so far anyway.

I don't want to get into a an argument on semantics but perceived and enforced ownership over an individual or group of individuals constitutes as slavery. It doesn't matter if you're very goddamn nice about it all the time and give 'em a pat on the head every time they do labor for you.
