I only realised it was bait after I had posted it, because there are two different types of brave: promoting change and the war hero kind.

This man. He spent eighteen years of his life in Gulag,ten of these simply because he praised Ivan Bunin. His Kolyma Tales make Solzhenitsyn look like a children's author.

I don't think so. Hildawg is a real cunt on the inside. Everything about her campaign was fabricated to carry on from where Obama left off. Trump and Hillary could have been great friends if they weren't politicians.

Rosa Parks, on the other hand, was standing up for something that she believed in. Her mission was genuine.

The un-triggered answer: Putting your well-being at risk for your cause is brave. Rosa put herself at risk legally and otherwise, so she's brave.
However the "war heroes" often have the greater risk, so objectively the greater bravery.

These are the FACTS.

Also, she's not exactly black panther build. Looks like a plain woman, who don't ever git in no trabble, and doesn't have a lot of battle resistance built up.
Like a little kid going off to fight a giant.

Still pretty fuckin lame to come out and share her like "muh favorite hero of all time" though. Norpy, really.

>"As soon as the order was given to march, we saw poor Tom Webb lying on the battlefield shot through the head, his blood and brains smearing his face and clothes, and he still alive. He was as brave and noble a man as our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, ever made. Everybody loved him. He was a universal favorite of the company and regiment; was brave and generous, and ever anxious to take some other man's place when there was any skirmishing or fighting to be done. We did not wish to leave the poor fellow in that condition, and A. S. Horsley, John T. Tucker, Tennessee Thompson and myself got a litter and carried him on our shoulders through that livelong night back to Chickamauga Station. The next morning Dr. J. E. Dixon, of Deshler's brigade, passed by and told us that it would be useless for us to carry him any further, and that it was utterly impossible for him ever to recover. The Yankees were then advancing and firing upon us. What could we do? We could not carry
him any further, and we could not bury him, for he was still alive. To leave him where he was we thought best. We took hold of his hand, bent over him and pressed our lips to his--all four of us. We kissed him good-bye and left him to the tender mercies of the advancing foe, in whose hands he would be in a few moments. No doubt they laughed and jeered at the dying Rebel. It mattered not what they did, for poor Tom Webb's spirit, before the sun went down, was with God and the holy angels. He had given his all to his country. O, how we missed him. It seemed that the very spirit and life of Company H had died with the death of good, noble and brave Tom Webb."

He never knew what fear was, and in consequence of his reckless bravery, had been badly wounded at Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, the octagon house, Dead Angle, and the 22nd of July at Atlanta. In every battle he was wounded, and finally, in the very last battle of the war, surrendered up his life for his country's cause. No father and mother of such a brave and gallant boy, should ever sorrow or regret having born to them such a son. He was the flower and chivalry of his company. He was as good as he was brave.

>In August 1944 Darges returned to the SS Wiking to replace Johannes Mühlenkamp as the commander of the 5th SS Panzer Regiment.[2] It was in command of this unit that Darges was awarded the Knight's Cross for his actions on the night of 4 January 1945.[3] The division was advancing towards Bicske when it was stopped by the 41st Guards Rifle Division of the Soviet 4th Guards Army. Darges initially probed the Soviet line with a mixed Panzer and Panzer Grenadier Kampfgruppe and succeeded in breaking through the line at dawn. Subsequently he ambushed and destroyed a Soviet task force, knocking out four 122mm guns, four 76mm anti-tank guns, twelve trucks and a number of supply vehicles. He then attacked Regis Castle, forcing the garrison to retreat. Darges then found himself surrounded by Soviet reinforcements and was forced to repel several attacks. Three days later when they were relieved by another Kampfgruppe from SS Wiking, they left behind more than thirty destroyed Soviet tanks.[9]
