Unpopular opinion: Why are people considered “heroes” when they fight a disease? It’s not like they did anything brave, they’re just trying to get better soon.

Cuz theyre fighting—literally their bodies, mind, emotions, and perhaps finances r fighting to live. It takes courage to take the pain and overcome.

Agreed. I lost my mother to cancer and oh those were the bravest days of her life. Continuing to put up a smile so we wouldn't cry. It was only on the deathbed that she finally said that she couldn't fight it any more and apologized for it (imagine apologizing for cancer). If that's not brave to you, you need to spend more time in hospices my friend.

Huh? Bravery has many different degrees.

A fire fighter who saves someone from a burning building is brave.

A child who tries to overcome his stage fright by stepping out of his comfort zone to do public speaking is brave.

A woman who shares her story of abuse/assault is brave.

🤦‍♀️

Because the US has a hero worship culture. Most other countries of the world don't.

Every post or comment I see like "the left is terrifying", "the left is scary" or "the left is frightening", etc makes me wonder why are Conservatives such gluttons for fear?

How can you be both the harbingers of freedom and so afraid of everything?

Trumpers sold their senses of shame long ago, so they're no longer able to be embarrassed by what the very stable toddler is doing to our global standing.
