Indeed, but I also acknowledge the inhibitions of bringing some fists to a machete fight.
Having something in your hand boosts confidence, and ranged weapons even more so.
I'm a pussy as well, our lives are so painless now, it's easy to forget how lethal we actually are.
Sure, if the average basement dweller tries to perform some fancy martial arts katas, or high kicks, or some fancy fighting maneuver then that always looks incredibly autistic (in the bad way, not the good autistic way).
But fights in the realworld don't usally go like that anyway.
Knifing for example, people usually just stab stab stab stab stab like a sowing machine.
It works, not against an actualy trained opponent, but it works.
Sop even neckbards can pick a rock and just wail on the fucker, breaking ulnae, eyesockets, fingers, teeth, cracking shins, all those fine, fragile bones hurt like hell when knocked hard.
Even if you swing like an oaf.
But, on the upside, we're also quite resilient.
A fight can be incredibly painful, and our comfortable lives, our spoiled brains shriek at the prospect of getting hurt.
But people break their bones in recreational activities all the time and it all heals up fine.
The bones actually get stronger from that.
Now imagine 3 months of pain but you saved someones life.
You'll go through something that can happen to you anyway, but you actually did something heroic, even if the mainstream media would disagree.
Simple weapons hurt, we're not that powerless.
We're not a military force bar none anymore, but the rape apes on the streets, while being invaders, are not trained soldiers.
Remember that clip from Britain where some nigger just swung his knife like Obelix and the entire squad backed off.
Swining your arm like obelix is not special forces training.
You can overwhelm such people.
