The Rebel with Fractured Integrity

There was a righteous rebel who wanted to fight against a corrupt society. The rebel would go out every day in the town square and preach the truth. They had crowds of people listening with bystanders stopping or kept pieces of what they said in their thoughts. This rebel had the right motivations and did the best they could in informing capable people in what they should do, however, when their life was threatened, they changed their message or took their message to a more secluded place for a time. The rebel’s followers dwindled while few stayed loyal to them.
Once the rebel felt safe, they went back to preaching the truth. Unfortunately for them, people stopped listening to them after a while. The rebel was thought to be a coward and a fraud for always shrinking when their way of life was threatened or taking the bribe and selling out to the society they said they were fighting against. Eventually, actual brave people with integrity rose up individually and through their sacrifice, inspired others to rise up and overthrow the oppressive society and make it into a better one.
The original rebel, who flipped and flopped in their message, was nearly forgotten about. No one is sure whether the rebel was a man or a woman, but everyone knows about their cowardice. On the other hand, everyone knows the names and deeds of those who died and gave everything they had in changing the society they lived hand and are considered to be saints.
