Tiffany Lime as a kid, reading the fable about the emperor who has no clothes: what a dumb story
me today, living through the current political situation: ok i get it now

D2@tiffanycli me as a kid, with that and the ‘no-kings’ mindset of misc revolutions: uh, we keep consolidating power back toward royal-like leaders. WTF happens if we elect dumbasses or criminals?
Me today: yikes, both?!
Jason Orendorff@tiffanycli It's been a real history lesson

Vereesh@tiffanycli the children's story that keeps coming up for me is the old woman who swallowed the fly. I see it everywhere, people, and societies do one stupid thing, and instead of acknowledging the mistake, and accepting the consequences, they keep doing increasingly more stupid things. We're surrounded by all the things they keep swallowing. One day they'll swallow the horse and we'll all be dead of course.
@temporal_spider I haven’t thought of that story in years! But you’re right. The lesson rings true!
Airis Damon@tiffanycli Now I can't get that Rankin Bass song out of my head.
"Clothes make the Man! Clothes make the man!"
