> because for once in the history of civilization, we'd be fighting for our own right and not some elite group's right. I hope I am not alone in this line of thinking

They depoliticized people to this degree that they fantasize of joining the a-political resistance movement, its kind of sad. This isn't meant as an insult, you should be angry that you live in a society that left you politically oblivious. Like no dude, people fought against power all the time, the people who you listen to just told you that all that do are dangerous politicized radicals or terrorists. Find who is punching UP, then get a political education in that direction.

No revolution in history has ever succeeded without the support of an alternate group of elites who replace the current elites if the revolution succeeds...

and if these elites are better aligned with you, siding with them is better than doing nothing

As suggested by a sibling comment, more often than not, those punching up are planning to replace the current elites with themselves, or a worse system. Thankfully, the opposition is not a homogeneous group, so use critical thinking to discard terrible options.
