“So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive.“ while this can become dabgerous, the alternative is to go blue in the face and expend energy with contention. this removes the peace from all.

It is easy to give up in such circumstances but we all have personal responsibility and need to treat others with that hopeful dignity we would like to receive. For me it isn't winning the argument but understanding the other and perhaps not giving to negative judgement and still relating something truthful/factual or personal.

Well said. The rest of that quoted photo you posted is that fighting with pigs only gets you dirty, and the pig likes it.
