To the extent wisdom can incentivize resistance to a corrupt authority, can wisdom be a component of stubbornness?

Here again, we would say that a choice to say "no" that is born of wisdom might well be seen as stubbornness to an adversary demanding their compliance and questioning their judgment if they decline. So here again the beauty is in the eye of the beholder as to whether one is seeing stubbornness or perseverance in adhering to an aspect of inner character, or greater wisdom to see the big picture perhaps, or a moral imperative to seek the high ground and avoid risking a karmic misstep from being out of divine alignment by cooperating with someone who is asking a person to go against their inner convictions in some way. So in that instance, a stubborn refusal to give in we would call "strength of character" and an example, in the case of an enlightened individual, as a kind of "effortless stubbornness" that is truly perseverance owing to the inner wisdom on display.
