Of course, but nobody is going to make a movie about the rich person who demanded freedom. There's a reason Mel Gibson saying f u with his head on the chopping block is inspiring.

BTW- I'm all for making oneself anti-fragile in various ways; financially, physically, politically, socially, etc. It simply isn't a requirement to demand liberty.

My point is that f u is a character trait more so than any particular level of wealth obtainment. I probably had more of that trait when I had nothing than I do now.

Like everything, the f u trait is only as good as the causes for which they are exercised.
