I am not confusing anything. They are branded as heroes and martyrs (I should have put "martyrdom" in quotation marks but deliberately omitted it in my earlier message). Martyrs do not "prosper," they sacrifice and die. And they are not heroes as they are not doing anything heroic.
I understand that today the word hero apparently means "nice guy" or "I like him." I'd rather reserve it for its intended meaning. And that's what my comment was primarily about.
I agree. Sometimes people lose everything for going against the narrative. But the people called heroes in this topic greatly prosper.
