I’m not one for violence, but here’s the deal. If you have to throw a punch, you damn well better precursor it with a battle cry of some sort. I plan to yell “Truth is justice!”.
The way I see it, a good but slightly ambiguous rally cry like TIJ (for short) is the only thing that can make a fighter (usually perceived as a hooligan) become a hero. You don’t even have to have a cause. You don’t even have to be in the right.
A guy at my office last week got pissed at his boss for getting fired, and started whaling on the poor guy. Beating the s@!t out of him, I’m told. No rally cry, either. Guess where he is now? Jail.
If I could have caught him before he started scrapping with his boss, I would have loaned him Truth is Justice. He could have screamed it out, which would have:
A.) Made all of his coworkers believe he is fighting for the common good of all the little guys out there
B.) Had a stun-gun-like effect on his opponent. “Truth is Justice” (or equivalent) really baffles the mind, when screamed in an office setting. You can’t process it quickly.
I do NOT recommend “God is great” or any sort of high pitched chanting for your rally cry. Bad idea. Those lead to Gitmo.
