    If your home gets broken into are you not going to defend it? Or will you let the burglar keep your own house so he won’t kill you.

      I will defend it but once it is established that I am not going to win, I will seek to protect what I can instead of risking more for what has been lost.

            What is the point in dying if it won’t make a difference

            You wouldn’t fight for your family sitting next to you? You wouldn’t defend them with everything you have? Would you apologize to them for not doing anything to stop them being raped and beaten because “it wouldn’t make a difference” anyway? Do you think it would change their view of you if you sat down when they needed you to stand up the most?

            Wow. Doubling down on the spinelessness. I’d bet you’re the type.of guy to sacrifice your own family to save your own skin.

              That’s why there are no revolutions anymore lol. It is easier to let others die than do anything that endangers self. Basically how the West views this war.
