It is normal, but not always good. Know when you can and can't stand up for yourself. Is that tiny joking comment your boss made really worth standing up and fighting with him to get yourself fired worth it? No. Is it worth it to argue with the police officer because you were speeding because you had to get to that dentist appointment? No. HOWEVER, there is times where you can and should stand up for yourself, like if some stranger pushes you and makes fun of you and flips you off, you can and should/shouldn't (it's pretty subjective) fight back. When you stand up in situations like this you not only feel better yourself for not just letting them walk away, but it is likely that they don't do that to someone else next time, and it encourages other people to not tolerate that kind of thing. Also those stupid acts like SOPA you should protest against. Whether or not you go as far as breaking the law to defend what's right is really your choice and whether that is the proper action or not is an opinion. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't get cocky and rebellious over stupid things. Know your place and what's worth standing up against.
Is it normal that I hate forced tolerance, respect, etc.?
