There’s a quote from Huey Newton, “The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man.” You’re describing the stage/phase/step before the comrade has come to terms with that first lesson. And because it is the first step, we also see a big part of why the Western left is still learning to walk/baby steps.
That’s perfect. It distilled all my feelings about it down to one sentence. They’re going to kill us slowly if we don’t do anything, and they might kill us quickly if we do. But we’re dead either way. So fight back.

They might also kill us quickly even if we do nothing lol. Fighting back is as necessary to survival as bread, water, and sleep.
