a complete definition. One could argue that a martyr is only really recognized as such posthumously, ie after his flesh has decomposed and enriched soil somewhere. A true martirwithacause would be well and truly dead after suffering horribly, for example, for the human rights of boylovers and boys. He might have gone to the Truckie's Bar on a Friday night and made a speech advocating the rights of pedophiles to free expression, knowing that to do so would incur the wrath of the people, that he would be beaten horribly. He might have done this repeatedly, willingly sacrificing his life so that he would be heard in the wider press, where.... He might be referred to euphemistically as a human rights advocate who had died of natural causes. |
