Blake mentioned that those that grew up outside the walls learn to fight and survive; if (at least some) nomads can defend themselves from hoards of Grimm I'd think they'd put up more of a resistance if the kingdoms were secretly attacking them. Of course it could be simple plot convenience: suddenly the rough&tumble nomads are outmatched by the kingdoms :P then again, Cinder & co. could be that resistance: they organize the nomads and other dissidents like White Fang to strike back at the kingdoms
