Question for non-coercion Twitter: Is bravery a form of self-coercion, and if not what's the distinction? (This isn't meant as a gotcha, I actually want to know your answer)
-
Doesn't *feel* like it? (If I substitute 'bravery' for 'courage'.) It feels like for it to be coercive it has to ignore the *fact* of the fear or *reason* for it existing. If it's 'fuck it yolo' then sure. If it is 'i hear you, and understand but still wanna try' it feels fine.
And if you respond that way to an internal reaction of "I don't wanna" (in a situation where you both want to and don't want to) is that now self-coercion?

I fear the downside but I'll make myself do it anyway - coercion I don't fear the downside so whatever - non-coercion

The latter isn't bravery though, it's just not being scared.

self-coercion *feels like* aligning with a part *against* other part. losing impartiality in a way that means to force the other to be ignored or silent for the time being
-
So non-coercion is aligning with the parts of you that don't want to use coercion against the parts that do?
