This topic of ”Liberals can’t fight. They just run their mouths.” has been doing the rounds again recently.

This is one of the most common misunderstandings among conservatives. Liberals can fight, if needed, but mostly they will actively try to avoid it, and when they can’t they’ll seek to end it asap.

But redneck conservatives think a fight can end in one of two ways: Either they win or they’re KO’d into submission.

I’ve had the unfortune of being dragged into some street fights, attempted muggings and robberies.

In general I faired well. My background in wrestling, daito-ryu aiki-jujitsu & capoeira allowed me to fend off the attackers and hold my feet to the ground at all times.

But also my unwillingess to take the fight further contributed significantly to them ending sooner rather than later with significant injuries.

The thing #conservatives don’t get that you don’t have to be a UFC fan to want to train martial arts, nor you have to display the outer appearance or demeanor of a fighter to be ready for it.

And that’s why they incorrectly also assume liberals aren’t somehow aware that ”the world is a dangerous place”, which their ”strong arms” would protect us from.

But actually they show their cards: They themselves are much more afraid than us. They boast because they’re scared.
