How Power Works
Here is an example of how power works. Let’s say an orange man with yellow cotton candy on his head attacks you. Since this is how he feels powerful (instead of actually BEING powerful) you should assume he will continue to attack you until you either can get out of the situation or you attack back. You can also assume he will attack others since this need for the feeling of power is not going to go away.
How to Respond
If you are a pussy cat, you should have your claws sharpened in advance and not be afraid to use them. If you are a human you should also have your claws (verbal and physical) ready. Having your phone recording the interaction might be a good idea as well. If you can, you should tell someone immediately about the attack so that you have a record of it. You should also write it down and record the date so the information is fresh. Tell a reporter friend of yours about the attack. If you don’t have a reporter friend, get one.
Oh, and if he has his orange snake with him and uses it in the attack, you should be sure to claw it as well and call the police.
Power vs Power
In other words, power responds to greater power. This is especially true in the example of the orange man since his bullying and assaulting power is a facade hiding deep insecurities and hurts. Gather all the resources you can to fight, especially if the man is orange.
