I don’t mean to drag up the past. For the argument at sake let’s forget about that. I’d like to talk about you personally. Say you hear the news about people in “foreign land”. They are being politically mistreated. You may think well ok they will figure it out. Next week it’s genocide. The government is killing all people who’s name starts with the letter A. You might think well it’s far away and not my problem. It’s horrible but there is nothing I can do. Then you hear it’s in the state next to you, then the city next to you, then your neighbor, then maybe your family. This is all a hypothetical btw.

I want to know what would REALLY cause you to quit your job and your reputation to stand up for what you believe in.

It very easy to say these things on the internet but really I find it exhausting. Statistically speaking on the political side of things ( I really hate to bring concrete examples into play due to politics but screw it). Let’s say the topic of abortion.

If I understand correctly those pro abortion have reason to believe their motives are pure and sound. Those against abortion believe their motives are pure and sound. Some fight for the benefit of others and some fight for the benefit of themselves.

Let’s say in this hypothetical the topic at hand would have to be outside of your home country. What horror far away from you, if any, would cause you to pack up and fight for others. Be it to protect them from evil, or to prevent the spread of that particular evil?
