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?
Best to walk away in our current world, always a chance you might deal a lethal blow (even if unintentional). Mad max world stop the fight before it starts. If you have a chance to ko with a sucker punch do so, anyone can win a fight, best to not let them settle in
What if you are not the fighter type, aka your typical homebody nerd?
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.
