Palestinians fight against Israel against impossible odds. They expect to be killed. Some people in the West think they believe in an afterlife and Allah will reward them in that afterlife. But I'm an athiest - I don't believe in any afterlife - and yet I have the same sense about things. I would rather be killed for promoting free speech or telling the truth about Israel than from cancer or a heart attack. Death is certain, and I would want to make my death impactful if possible. Even if I'm cancelled or imprisoned rather than killed, that still has the effect of being martyred and does great things for the cause of righteousness. Is there any greater point to life than fighting against evil? Julian Assange's life sucks balls right now, but his imprisonment has had a great effect. I don't fear these unlikely outcomes.

That’s pretty baller. I’m not sure if I’m a weak man or if I think my wife and kids need me too much. Hard to know what the answer is unless tested. I just hope to not be tested. I’d rather not find out that I’m a tittybaby. :) In the meantime ima try to be private - ala Ron Swanson.

If I had a wife or kids I probably wouldn't feel this way. When I was younger I didn't feel this way either. I'm sure as hell not saying people should be like me. Maybe I'm nuts. I'm just saying it how it is.
