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?
What if you are not the fighter type, aka your typical homebody nerd?
People trip. People fall. People hit their head on the ground. If you caused that, you’re going to jail regardless of how good of a fighter you are
Also, I haven’t seen this mentioned, but you also rarely know if somebody has a knife or gun
Always try to run. If that doesn’t work you’ll have to fight. Personally, I usually carry pepper spray on me for such occasions but it depends on your local laws whether that’s a good idea or not. In my country, you’re allowed to carry it and use it in self-defense (if it isn’t self-defense your fucked tho). If laws allow it and you decide to carry pepper spray make sure you get familiar with how it sprays.
