I think his point is that situations like the J6 prisoners have been in solitary for 2 years. I am fairly certain that none of them "submitted" to this situation. Of course, they could have gotten into a gun battle with the SWAT teams that arrested them, but that would have resulted in their deaths AND proved the point of the government stance that they were dangerous, or at least this is what would have gone out in the media.
It'll have some effect, depending on how many you take with you. They will spin it how they want, but the doorkickers will be more cautious and a bit more scared for the next time.

Yeah, you're right. On an individual level, not submitting is not going to have any effect.
