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)
-
Functionally equivalent from outside tho. If I don't fear death I go to battle bravely.
Not really. Might be functionally equivalent in one-off situations, but the range of behaviours you see in someone who isn't afraid vs someone who is brave is very different.

(I'm also much more interested in the internal experience right now)

Fair enough. NNT says that bravery is the one virtue that cannot be faked. I think the key is there somewhere.

I'm guessing when you think 'brave' you think of an underdog figure. Someone who presses on despite the fear.

I don't think underdog necessarily but yes this is basically what bravery *is* isn't it? Operating while afraid rather than without fear.
