Meaning
This reads as a joke that turns into a small theory of self-protection. It can be taken to mean that insecurity sometimes hardens into aggression, especially when someone feels physically or socially smaller than the world around them. It lands when a person jokes defensively in public, because the humor carries a real edge of guardedness and pride.
