People that are clearly weaker than you, for starters. You don't get pissed and beat up a toddler if he calls you fat or dumb, do you?

The regime is not a toddler. It is a deadly enemy.
There's an old Tibetan proverb about lions:
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.
Tell me, if a rabbit were to throw a stick at said lion, would it care much? It might give it a blank stare, make an intimidating pose or even roar. If it were an animal capable of threatening it, however, it wouldn't be so calm.
Are you the lion or the thrower?

I think I understand.
Americans and westerners are being threatened by rabbits pretending to be lions.
While many of us Americans are lions convinced we're rabbits.
Thats how I'm interpreting it. Question is, how do we make westerners feel properly threatened by our governments, enough to do something about them?
