I'm starting to lean more strongly into the feeling that it's *way* past time to stop "being the better person". There's been a mindset that if we resist too strongly, they'll just hit us anyway (and possibly harder). Well, they're doing that anyway. Preemptive surrender emboldens them. Michelle O once said "When they go low, we go high." Where's that gotten us? Hamell on Trial once said, "You take the low road, I'll take the lower road".
p.s. I seem to recall that Black Flag's Chuck Dukowski has acknowledged that the "let 'em police themselves" thing was pehaps not the best way.
