You do exist. Capable people with very particular skill sets do exists but many of us would put others at risk by acting. People like you and those with nothing to lose will be all that keep kids from growing up orphans. There’s honor in that if such a thing exists.
I know it’s hella cheesy and there’s a masculinity joke about the fantasy of wanting to live out the cliche that is sacrificing yourself to buy time for others to run off and live, but honestly with fascism at everyone’s doorstep and me without ever having had a retirement plan or sense of purpose, I can’t think of a better opportunity to line myself up to live out that fantasy.
…mind you I am not actively seeking to speed up that process right now/I’d like to live as long as I could, but I’ve just kind of been bracing for mental impact that that’s probably going to be the equivalent of my retirement plan.
We live in a cheesy movie. I’m just embracing that at this point. Prepare and have fun while you can. We await the next inflection point. Personally I’m hoping for Mario or Peach to come out swinging.

Almost everybody want’s to be the hero in their own mind.
