    In a hostage situation like you describe it’s also not unreasonable to try to grab one of their guns~

      That’s interesting, and understandable, although coming from a Chinese/East Asian culture I certainly have more of an emphasis on “playing the long game” mentality. Not seeking direct confrontation, but being smart about it and playing with cards we’re dealt with etc. to come out on top.

        Climate change and nuclear war will probably combine to cause near human extinction within the next few decades.

        We do not have a long game to play anymore. Or rather, the long game started over 100 years ago and we’re about to lose. Not to mention while you’re slow and steady, people die.
