Dorothy Parker, like many of her fellow Round-Tablers, used humor, including ridicule, satire, irony and sarcasm, as a defense both personal (a defense mechanism) and as social commentary to defend against corruption. However, when faced with the horrors of war in Spain, she realized the inadequacy of words, and the dangers of making light of such a serious subject.

Dorothy Parker is suggesting that using ridicule to protect oneself or attack others is not a truly powerful or effective strategy. Ridicule may serve as a defense mechanism, but it lacks the strength to create meaningful change or address underlying issues. She is emphasizing the limitations of using ridicule as a means of confrontation or communication.
