Pro tip: if you are going to go out into the world purposefully looking to get in a physical altercation, make sure you really know how to fight, first, unless you just want to be badly injured.
Righteousness won't save you like knowing how to keep your guard up, and block or take a strike.
Second pro tip: pick your battles. Think effective, long term strategy, not just reacting like a mindless animal and accomplishing nothing much except for getting an arrest record. What is your end game? What effect will this ultimately have on the world? What will actually help accomplish your goals, rather than just temporarily making you feel less helpless and more vindicated?
Learning to fight takes years of hard work, though.
So does learning how to effectively change the world, and then putting in all the effort to really do so.
Prey animals react.
Apex predators? They practice, they learn, they plan, they think.
