Undoubtedly in a few years, people are going to get so fucking sick of everyone trying to turn every case of brutality into a race/gender issue, that it will mean nothing and no one will ever give a shit ever again. Even when it’s a legitimate case of racism or sexism.

It’s like we have this story you tell children in Poland (I wonder if other countries have similar ones. Followers?). It’s about a chicken who kept alerting other farm animals that a fox is trying to eat it. The animals rushed to the rescue just to be laughed at by the chicken who fooled them. And when one day a fox was really trying to get him and he screamed for help, no one came and the chicken got eaten.
Brutal, yet it taught me that not everything is worth making a lot of fuss. Because one day I may really need help and no one will come. The same here when people pull the race or sexism card on almost everything.

We have a similar story about a boy who shouted there was a wolf when there wasn’t and when there was, no one believed him and he got eaten.

Except right now the wolves are regularly devouring sheep and the foxes are feating on chickens. So I hope that before we get sick of it the farmers will take care of the wolf and fox problem.
