>>11410476>can't understand the concept of provocationI understand the concept of provocation. But being a hothead who is EASILY provoked is not something to be proud of.
>be a man in the way your grandfather wasIf I got in a physical fight over something as stupid as "cry me a river" my grandfather would have kicked my ass for it (assuming my dad didn't do so first).
>self respect and the willpower to protectIt's about having enough self-respect to not be overly concerned with others' opinions of yourself, and enough willpower to control your emotions. Save the violence for when there's something which actually needs protecting.
>believe self respect is awful and barbaricWhat is barbaric is resorting to violence because your feefees got hurt. That's not self-respect, it's vainglory.
