What makes you not a sheep?

I've just had a thought of the Jews during the holocaust being murdered by the millions not fighting back even when they were forced to dig a hold for their friends and eventually themselves. It's a complete sheep mentality if not worse. Sheep will stand around while you slaughter their mother and everyone eventually you'll end up killing them. Hence the insult you're a sheep.

So my question is how do you know you're not a sheep going with the flow of what is around you?

I am not sure why you think they weren't fighting back. Even women and children fought back, take the partisan Rose Holm was in..

But at a point you need to understand surviving is more important than some subjective concept like bravery or freedom. You survive until you have a chance to really fight back instead of just die.

Sheep are those easily manipulated by an illusion of "fighting back" for political agendas.
