I just wonder that if I coward of a street fight, how good will I be on an actual revolution or in an apocalyptic scenario? Also, I wonder if not fighting bullies gives them ammunition to get away with their bad behavior and or reinforces it?
I know that in our current day and age, one might refuse to fight and just let the police deal with that. But if the collapse happened and we were in Mad Max, is not fighting a good strategy?
What is the philosophy on fighting? And on walking away?
Fighting is a last resort for me. If someone engages me I will attempt to de-escalate. If I am forced into a physical altercation, I will use any and all means of protecting myself including deadly force. I am not bound by any “fair fighting” rules that some people seem to think is honorable. I will gouge eyes, bite face, squeeze nuts, use objects or weapons, or anything else imaginable to defend myself
