The Xnetters are being rather extreme and radical in the war against control. Granted that the government and DHS are mainly at fault in this book, Marcus is at fault as well. The Xnetters jam the Fastpasses and cause chaos among the citizens of San Francisco. They choose to have an illegal gathering where there is loud noise in a busy neighborhood. The opinions are mainly one-sided. The media and the government have their ideas set in stone and so do the extremists like Marcus. There is no gray area in the scale. Even Marcus sees that the misery of his father and mother is somewhat his fault, but says that he is too far into the mess to stop now. To stop tyranny, they are being rebels and causing more chaos. The Xnetters are no better than the government is if they trouble the average citizen of San Francisco just as much. The government basically has an unlimited supply of money and power to stop Marcus, so I agree with Vanessa and Jolu that Marcus will never win the war, even if he is right in his intentions.
You make a good point about how both the DHS and the Marcus, along with the Xnetters, are causing misery for the people. However, there will always be misery if noone stops the DHS. They will put more and more restrictions on the people. If Marcus succeeds then the misery will stop. Vanessa and Jolu say that Marcus will never win the war with the DHS. I see why you agree with Vanessa and Jolu. Marcus is just a kid who is fighting a battle with America's DHS but he is trying which I think is the biggest part of it all. The colonies went to war with Britain, not thinking about how winning against them will be impossible, but thinking they can do it. Now we are a free country. You can relate the colonies to Marcus and Britain to the DHS.I think Marcus has a chance even though its not a very good one. Anything can happen.
