Insightful. I like the idea of inverting it as an approach to dealing with enemies/ detractors.

I first heard those insights from Lew Rockwell.
Laughter is a bigger threat to tyrants than fighting because people like laughter and it's easier to undermine a regime than it is to overthrow one.
Also, one of his well known sayings is "The state is a boogeyman. If people would ignore it it would have no power."

I imagine it's meant to apply to the side with truth on their side.
The liberty movement broadly and the bitcoin movement narrowly have been progressing through that sequence, so I certainly hope it's true.
There's kind of an inverse to this statement, as well: Instead of fighting your enemy, laugh at them, and better yet just ignore them.
