If someone stronger or weaker wanted to fight you (physically) would you fight them or would you walk away? Is there shame on walking away? (lemmygrad.ml)

I just wonder that if I coward of a street fight, how good will I be on an actual revolution or in an apocalyptic scenario? Also, I wonder if not fighting bullies gives them ammunition to get away with their bad behavior and or reinforces it?

I know that in our current day and age, one might refuse to fight and just let the police deal with that. But if the collapse happened and we were in Mad Max, is not fighting a good strategy?

What is the philosophy on fighting? And on walking away?

If the collapse happened (whatever that even means), it wouldn't be like Mad Max because Mad Max is a movie, it's not real. This ideology that individual humans are by nature violent and constantly on the brink of murdering each other all the time has no real basis in science or history that I know of. It does, however, provide a nice excuse for why communism can never work and why you need cops with assault rifles at Wal-Mart.
