Nobody cared about Swartz before he died- it's almost disgusting how people who disparaged his case and never once considered donating to his legal funds are now praising him as a a saint. He was a saint, but the majority of people saying that now weren't saying so before the fact.
- sliverstorm 14y agoHe was a saint Oh?
- nilved 14y agoIsn't the most common contemporary definition of 'saint' a person who loses their life in pursuing a noble cause? How does Swartz not fit that definition?
- brittonsmith 14y agoYou're thinking of a martyr. Saintliness, other than the silly Catholic rules, refers more to living righteously. You can be either one of those without being the other.
