I mean, maybe? But what does the revolution even want?

I have no idea, but it's important to always remember that many of the Innies, particularly our leads, are extremely mentally underdeveloped relative to the age of their physical body. Mark has less life experience than a 2 year old, Helly even less. Basically the only existence they know is Lumon, so they probably don't even understand the concept of a revolution nor do they fully understand the risks involved. I think that's the direction the show is heading, but I'm not suggesting they actually have some clearly thought out master plan that will lead to their happily-ever-after Innie world. Batshit goat lady had no fucking idea what she was doing either, she just went mental like a very big toddler having a violent tantrum.

I think that's a key point - they're not really following a plan, they're improvising to survive moment to moment.

It's easy to observe them and say, "this isn't going to work, because x, y, or z," but from their POV they're just doing what they can.
