Who gets to decide what is considered brave? And how do you determine which rules are worth breaking?

Senator Fatima Payman is being lauded a hero for crossing the floor by her supporters, and a bad team player by others. Similarly Julian Assange is a free speech icon for some, and a reckless criminal according to his critics.

History is littered with examples of people who changed trajectories by saying F you to rule based order of the day. Applauded by their fans, vilified by the media – so who gets to decide who wears a cape?

The Antoinettes hash out bravery as they see it, and when breaking rules and starting a fire is more destructive than its worth.
