If this is 30 years after the "Rebellion" blew up the 2d Death Star......
Isn't the "Rebellion" the government now? Doesn't that make the "First Order" the "resistance?"
I guess it would be like the government using their funding to finance an armed group to fight a shadow war.
But still, it doesn't make any sense. It's not like coming out and publicly opposing the First Order directly would have any negative repercussions, politically or otherwise.
Honestly, I think it's an excuse to have the "Rebels" as an underdog again. It's kind of lazy and a lost opportunity to have an interesting dynamic with the First Order as a kind of insurgent group sowing terror across the galaxy
