      Yeah, walking away from every person you’ve ever known and every support system you’ve ever had in hopes of a better future with no real promises to fall back on if it doesn’t work out isn’t courageous at all.

          Self preservation can take courage.

          You’re being nitpicky for no reason. Something can be courageous without being the most courageous thing anyone has ever done.

      If the US had an actual democracy and ability to fight back, you’d be right. But we don’t, so you aren’t.

      You can’t expect people to take up arms and go kill cops and politicians, even if that’s what’s needed. That is a hell of a lot to ask of someone. Why aren’t you doing that right now? Are you scared?

      Yeah, them and everyone else is too.

      I didn’t expect such a backlash from a dumb comment which was only intended to reference The Gambler.
