You're asking him to prioritize the glory of "standing up" over his life. That's an absurd expectation to put on a human being, and it's not clear that it would accomplish anything anyway.
- srean 12y agoI dont have problems with people having such expectations as long as they themselves lead by example. Its too easy to pass judgments about what personal risk somebody else is supposed to take from a position of safety and anonymity. EDIT @icambron minor point, my position is the converse of what you interpreted: i.e. If you are going to tell me what to do then lead by example.
- icambron 12y agoI agree with your second sentence, but not your first. "I'm willing to die for my causes so you should be willing to die for yours." No thanks.
