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?
violence should always be avoided unless necessary to protect human life. if you can flee you should flee. if you need to use violence you should use overwhelming force to ensure you don’t get injured yourself. i’d never fight someone because if i need to use violence, i’m going to shoot them instead. if you find yourself thinking “but that’s way too extreme, they don’t deserve to die!” then you are not in a situation that demands violence. imo.
