Rabbits Vs Wolves – The Pope Vs Italy

The Pope calls for tolerance and welcoming of migrants, as Italy takes a different stand:

Pope Francis’ appeal on Wednesday came the day after residents of an Adriatic coastal town formed a blockade to prevent the arrival of 12 female migrants, one of them pregnant, who were to be housed in a hostel. In the face of resistance, officials found lodging elsewhere.

This is people realizing that they don’t have to take it, and they can force the issue. Notice that the last thing the Italian government wants is an actual fight. Confornted, they ship the migrants elsewhere.

Rabbits are all puffed chests, bluff attacks, and easy wins. If they can push a button and wipe you out with no cost, they will without hesitation. But if you can increase the cost to the rabbit, and make them clearly aware of the cost, the rabbit will seek the easier win elsewhere.

Unfortunately, in the face of rabbit bluffing, K-strategists naturally project their own psychology, and assume the rabbit is willing to endure the cost. This will change once amygdalae develop. Once it does, K-strategists will prepare to fight for their lives.

I suspect they will be surprised to see the rabbits all evaporate into the ether.
