mostly a romantic notion. being a warrior/poet is a denial about how one contends with the needs of the moment. fighting requires an instant lockdown on one's artistic questions in favor of total war. most forms of "bravery" are little more than a dubious trust in the community to endorse your actions in a state of anger. being a loner doesn't mean that you have privilege, just that you're gambling on nobody meddling in your conflicts. sounds like nietzche liked to fantasize about being a large bully but bullies rarely write poems if they can get the nookie without them.
