Because he told people to stay obedient to cruel masters. He sends mixed signals from time to time.

Was he talking to cruel masters and telling them that it was ok to do cruel things? That wasn't the point of what he was saying.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
