a contemporary variant of “drown the truth in a sea of lies” is “cry wolf so loud and often that when the wolf arrives no one will listen”
@interfluidity the wolf who cried wolf
@mattlehrer @interfluidity The wolf who cried "Immigrants are trying to eat me"
@admitsWrongIfProven @mattlehrer i don’t know that they will ever come to eat anything more than a good meal, though.
@interfluidity @mattlehrer It makes more sense if you assume the wolf wants to eat the immigrants after people stopped responding to cries for help.
If we map this onto what has been happening in the US, i would consider investing in sauce companies that make sauces that go well with human meat.
@interfluidity @mattlehrer Does "mutual" mean i get eaten a bit, but also get to eat bits of someone else? I think the metaphor got away a bit, i should consult with a wolfologist.
@admitsWrongIfProven @mattlehrer you really need to start a mutual fund.
