"are you saying that a person with a family, by necessity, needs to restructure values to include survival by any means?"

Yes. I will eat way more shit to ensure the survival of my wife and kids than I would as a single person who only has my life to risk.

Yeah that makes sense. So, we kind of need people like Sophia to make statements like this for ya'll who "can't" due to risks involved?

Rather than disparaging her sentiment we should be thanking her, and those like her for taking a stand when we are unable to.

Her whole statement is disparaging people who don't fight. I'm not disparaging her as a freedom fighter, if that's what she was, but in her words that say if you make decisions for the good of your family, you "live small, mate small, die small". That's an insult to people who try to make decisions to protect their family or are not in a position to take up arms in a noble fight, or some other bullshit.
