Without clarification about which powers the speaker resists, as a blanket statement it means he or she thinks and works against anyone in authority or with power. This could be anyone from parents to teachers to the government of their town, state or country. It might sound cool to some people but there's wisdom in realizing it's better to be a rebel with a worthy cause. For example, some people in a coastal town may resist the authority represented by signs placed along the clifftops by local government that say "Unstable cliffs--do not go beyond this point." Then rescuers have to risk their lives and spend taxpayers' money to rescue the resisters who have fallen into the ocean and been injured or killed. But the peaceful resistance demonstrated by the black Civil Rights Movement, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, in the U.S. during the 1960's is an example of peacefully resisting those in power for good reasons.
