[QUOTE="samzeman, post: 181087, member: 11182"] I can vouch for this, even in small scale cases like muggings, people will not fight back on average. I wouldn't say it's as bad as society breeding weakness or compliance, more like nothing being worth the economy of fighting it. In the case of a mugging, the money you lose is less valuable than a risk of losing your life, even though I would personally assume most muggers are bluffing. As with a mass shooting, self preservation totally kicks in, and to no individual person is it worth it to sacrifice your life. Sacrifices go directly against the fight-or-flight instinct, since you'll only fight if you think you can win. It's why sacrifice is seen as a deliberate and noble action, in almost all cases, because it has to be entirely deliberate, and any human by default (on instinct only) will protect themselves, even if their life could be traded for many more.
