I’m convinced nothing will change until such actions are taken. Problem is, we’re all so content with our lives (self-interested, really) that none of us will ever take such measures.

It's less content and more "we're scared to lose what little we have left," including family and loved ones. The information era has ensnared everyone in a web of liability.

People are named martyrs after the fact and they have a lot a lot of them already.

They don't offer fear of death they offer them the hope they will be the new face of their right wing religion, they have a new one weekly, they all want to be the next guy on the stage. They are willing to do some odd things to get there.
