OK, I see a lot of internet bravado. Now maybe it’s legit since I don’t know you guys.
My question to you and the other guys in your FR group, specifically what do you mean by “Stand Up and Fight”
Literal or figurative?
Some specifics.
As the old Harley riders used to say, "If I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand."
But I'll try anyway.
People talk the way they think. Those who are spreading defeatist, demoralizing, surrender drivel on this site, are in the process of figuratively bending their knee to their oppressors. In the not-too-distant future, they'll be the same ones literally doing so.
Some of them will turn tail and run from their country, even while honor is compelling them to stay and resist.
If and when it comes to that (heaven forbid), they're the same people who will inform on you and your family for an extra crust of bread, or fewer lashes of the whip.
Not “bravado”, friend.
Just people getting fed up with listening to “It’s Over! We’re Toast! Run Away! Run Away!” It gets old.
That’s all.
Yeah... we KNOW things are crappy right now. They’ve been crappy before. They downright SUCKED quite a few times too. But they got better because good people fought back - mentally, spiritually, and physically, when it required to do so.
There have always been doom and gloomers, and there’s also always been those folks ready willing and able to throw in the towel at the worst possible moment. But they only succeed when others give up and give in.
The will to resist is important. As the words go, so goes the attitude; as the attitude goes, so goes the will.
That’s what’s going on here.
