It does not matter if I listen to fools, for I know they are fools.

What does matter is when fools, who do not know they are fools, listen to other fools, and think that they are wise.

Nailed it. The ones that call everyone else sheep are the ones who routinely and collectively throw themselves in the open mouth of wolves, unable to hear their own bleats and acknowledge their nature.

@Philth I would say it extends pretty much the entire political spectrum.


Rightwingers insisting that COVID wasn't a treat to justify not changing their lifestyles and/or merely have just another reason to be contrarians, up to the point where it started killing them with a significantly higher frequency compared to the rest of the population that had enough brains to get vaccinated; and similarly, rightwingers voting in candidates who are a personified clump of red flags for the very concept of democracy, so long as that'll "own the libs";

Tankie-like leftwingers that even to this day rave about Russia being "harmless if unprovoked" and climbing on mirrors trying to shift the blame to the US/NATO for Russia's very own Vietnam/Iraq, still insisting that NATO should be disbanded while reiterating Russia's far-right propaganda such as the "need to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine" (tell me if this isn't horseshoe theory at its finest lmao);

Or even, the so called "radical centrists", going out of their way to insist how everyone else but them is "radicalized", that everyone is overreacting and that "both left and right are the same", or that "the solution is through talk", even when the right-wing is clearly moving towards abolishing rights (including potentially the very basic right to have fair elections) by taking control of normally impartial bodies (such as the SCOTUS) and staging coups, while the rest of the political spectrum and especially the centre is in disarray and sitting on its own hands doing nothing to prevent further escalations.

@Elessar thanks for comprehensive response. Yes, indeed.
It's just bloody scary. If these "GiVe BoRiS a BrEaK, He'S dOiNg HiS bEsT" were animals in nature, their poor decisions would have seen them perish by now. Unfortunately they're leading the rest of us through the crashing waves and onto the rocks.

@Elessar Of course the sheep does not see the wolf. It is the sheep's nature to deny the wolf's existence. That is okay. We understand and stand watch anyway, for we have seen the wolf.

How Shakespearean

KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@sarabee1995 The book of Yulico...I remember her they were EPicurean Times
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@KiwiBird Before we left EP, I compiled Yulia's posts into a Word document entitled: "The Book of Yulico" and sent it to her. I don't remember if it included all her posts, but it might have.

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, he's a fool. Shun him!
...

First line of the Arabian proverb. The shunning is because of guilt by association.

My wisdom is wise for it is the wisdom of lies for the truth is the lies are the words of the wise!

Another fool saying: Who's the bigger fool, the fool who leads or the one who follows?
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@ineedadrink does the fool who follows know he follows a fool?
the world is awash with knowledge without wisdom.
