 My definition of self sacrifice is not sharing, benevolence, etc. When a parent makes changes to their lives to raise their children that is well within their stated life's goal. Not sacrificial.

By self sacrifice I mean that your life is worth less than the cause. I don't think society would collapse if we held each persons life in esteem.

Would it be fair to say, rather, that you agree with some types of self-sacrifice and less so with others?

When society is functioning in a healthy way we should operate in a way that each individual can view their own life as worthwhile. My working to have raised my children , even when two jobs was stressful and painful(back pain). But it was fulfilling. Did not rise to the level of sacrifice in my book.

It is wrong for leaders to ask adherents to sacrifice their lives for greater glory, or any -ism.

When society breaks down as in a disaster or during genocidal warfare all philosophies are strained to the breaking point.

So yes!
