The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Congratulations! You won the prize of becoming a statistic! You win a news article about your death and an expensive funeral.
Yep. I would surely die. I get that. But I'm not having my home invaded without fighting back. And the life insurance, cremation, etc., is already planned.
You plan to lie down when the fascists come knocking? Meekly go on the train? Because we're there. That's your choice.
No, we just choose plans of action that don't amount to suicide and may actually change things...
Adding your body to the pile isn't helping or changing anything. There are much smarter choices you could be making instead. I don't see how how living to see another day is any more "meek" than willingly jumping under the boot and dying fruitlessly because you somehow think it's the only way to fight back.
