This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to
"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"

Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

Another way of saying that theres a lot of bullshit in history books to support the agendas of a group in power to make that group look more like a clear victor without any negative qualities, and make another group look like they met their downfall. In reality, questioning what the pen writes is enough to make you wonder if there are any winners at all with something like a war.
The pen is mightier than the sword is what the same people you need swords for in the first place tell you.
