The problem is that the opposite is true.
You are NOT willing to die standing, because you, nor anybody else of your 3000 "comrades" is really willing to fight (= STRIKE).
CC and red lanyards do not match my definition of fighting, nor does complaining or making sad and angry faces in the street.
The inflationary use of safety as an argument is a tired one, no pun intended. (and plain ridiculous when talking about HKPA).
Nobody is listening.
Either you are willing to die in battle or you better not fight at all.
