Solid Mantis's definitions
Fighting like you've never been knocked down or lost isn't the same as never having been knocked down, lost, or fallen to the ground. Somebody somewhere knows who you are, and who you were, no matter who you tell people you are.
Fight like you never lost long enough, and though people aren't going to underestimate you, they are going to research you more than they would if you had been straightforward, direct, or honest.

Someone who's always going to try and throw the game (off) against you no matter who the underdog really is, they will always claim to be the underdog (they would claim to be the worm until it was no longer popular with the in crowd, then they're no longer the underdog, since an underdog really isnt much different than a worm). Someone who changes every rule and schedule until they end up winning, and tries to keep duping and tricking the ones who caught on to them.
His/her favorite line was game changer, since he/she saw himself/herself as a game changer and not someone who didn't handle losing well, but was desperate to convince other people that he/she took it all in stride, and shook it off every time. He/she didn't want people to think of him/her as being a sore loser like everyone else.

A weak person doesn't usually think they're weak, they just say they do when they know other people are listening. A weak person is no different than a narcissist. The kind of person who doesn't believe in, or hold god sacred, but sings songs of praise about how awesome and awe inspiring they say they think god is, when really they don't believe in any god.
The girl would sing songs for a show of a supposedly deep spiritual relationship with her god, when really she never believed in any god. She was the worst kind of weak person, the kind that would never know she was a weak person.

Divided people more than politics into Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter camps. Before the protests, people of different races weren't really divided based on race or beliefs/viewpoints, there were people that didn't get along from all groups as there always has been and always will be. There is no such thing as total unity of everyone, it's not realistic.
The George floyd protests are meant to distract a country full of people from the reality that systemic violence can and does happen to anybody, not just black people. It always has been that way, and yet people have conveniently forgotten since George Floyd's death.

Just about everything in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is an authoritative source telling everyone that didn't write it what their rights will be for the next hundred years or so. Most people have never really had any true rights, billionaires have rights, they do what they want to do. They're also telling everyone else what they want them to do a lot of the time.

The main difference between the minutemen of the American Revolution and the minutemen of the new millennium is the minutemen of the American Revolution were fighting the British who came from overseas to fuck with America, while the minutemen of the new millennium were fighting Mexicans who were really visiting land their ancestors once lived on. What the minutemen of the new millennium were doing there is closer to what the British were doing with the Indians when they first showed up.
The minutemen were really the 10 second men, since they were gone in about 10 seconds, and everything else is still there, it hasn't changed.

There's a difference between the kind of regret where you regret something you said or did, and the kind of regret you have from meeting someone. You are in control of what you say and do, you do not control who you meet.
The guy didn't regret a single thing he ever said or did to anybody, since most of it he did on purpose. If he had the chance to do life over again, he would do it the exact same way he had done it. But he did regret some of the folks he met along the way. He knew which faces he'd never miss seeing once he didn't see them anymore.
