What is a sincere practitioner of civil disobedience?
Someone who expects to suffer for his beliefs, and is willing to do so is a sincere practitioner of civil disobedience. Which Bill Ayers, Aaron Schwartz, Thoreau, Ghandi, Greenpeace, and the rest, transparently were not. In practice, 99% of civil disobedience is Pussy Riot tearing down someone else's crucifix on someone else's property. The message is "You have to obey our laws, but we do not have to obey even our own laws".
