Not quite. Or you have seen different things than I have. Are you sure that this wasn't people claiming this after their deaths? The right has this problem of believing anything posted by anons on social media.
If. But I would be very surprised if it had anything to do with a 'poltiical point'.
I suppose they wouldn't call it a political point, but a mission of humanitarians or something. But I'd call those political.
I would too. I suspect it's got nothing to do with that either though. These are just people out for adventure, also a modern pathology.
Hell, I concede that you might even be able to find them saying "it's not as unsafe as they claim". I've been to (way safer) places that my very safety-conscious family criticized for me, and my response was: it's not as unsafe as you think. That is me covering my ---. Not trying to prove a point. So to assert that the whole motivation was "to prove that it's not unsafe" is a bit much.
People are selfish and self-interested (even if that is a thrill for novelty). They don't put their own lives at risk to prove some sort of weird point. They may dress up their self-interest as humanitarianism or defend it, but that's very different from that being the actual reason.
They don't think they are in danger, they believe all the reports of being dangerous is a conspiracy theory.
Maybe some Very Online shut-in online activist would think that. Real people aren't like that.
