Ah yes, I remember fondly the days of school, when someone could fuck with you all day but you were the one causing trouble if you enforced your boundaries. My earliest exposure to the whole "preferring a negative peace which is the absence of tension" thing.
Clausewitz believed that war only happens when the invaded fight back. Imperialists have always operated on schoolyard bully logic.

Just take it!
That is literally true. If you don't fight back it's not war, it's something else. Usually colonization.
