The idea that being passive in the face of agression is noble is all over the place. It's deep in our culture. It's cooked in.
What happens to a kid in school that defends himself from a bully? Is he a hero? Nope. Is he praised and supported? Nope. Why? Because passivity is valued.
We regularly see self defense criminalized.
That's why they've killed millions of us over the last century, and gotten away with it. We won't oppose then in a way they respect. That's part of why they hate us and see us as sheep and cattle. We act like it. And we've let THEM train us how to think and act.
When I point this out, people object, even though it's right in front of them daily.
