The problem with this analogy is that the scorpion also dies in the fable. So far, the real-life scorpions have suffered very few (if any) consequences.
The scorpion will sting and poison the frog which will then die of the poison and both will sink. The scorpion will scold the frog for dying and leaving him to drown.
Trump told variants of this story (i.e., βThe Snakeβ) many times over and many people, for whatever reason, never took the right message from it, which should have been regarded as a warning. Strange how not believing anything he says (because he lies so pathologically) has worked to his advantage.
As riveting as this is - inactivity will atrophy your muscles and your mind - meerkats bite the sting off and eat the scorpionβ¦.thanks go to David Attenborough the voice the planet listens toβ¦
no no, see, this scorpion? this scorpion is blue. it's different. much calmer. he totally agrees with us. not like those other scorpions. those guys are so rude
Columbia, Paul Weiss, Schumer, the entirety of GOP, and most importantly the Maggot voters who support this nonsense and gaslight themselves and others into believing this is good.
Cuban-Americans have always been staunchly conservative since the cold war, because the Republicans busted their ass to appeal to their anti-communist ideals after they fled from Cuba because of Castro. They were also, unsurprisingly, huge fans of Reagan. π₯΄
Yeah. Unfortunately they are so hyper vigilant of communism that theyβll incorrectly claim any social safety net is communism. Yet they fail to recognize that what they (we) escaped was a dictatorship that used communism as a tool for oppression. And then end up voting for a βcapitalistβ autocrat.
Exactly. People need to realize that any political system structure can and will go tits up if the people running it are exploiting that system for their own personal gain.
Reminds me of people who say Hitler was a Democrat, analogous the average US Democrat, because they hear words and just slap on some generalized negative quantifier, without any understanding of what the words themselves actually mean or how those systems are/were used.
Unrelated to your post mostly but I find the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog to be shitty because frogs literally predate on scorpions so the story would more likely end with the frog saying "you speak when spoken to, punk" and then eating the scorpion whole.
the scorpion is stinging me. he's stinging my eyes, my face.. I am dying from the venom. perhaps, after I die, the scorpion will think about his actions, feel remorse, and become a better scorpion.
ouch.
"There are checks and balances in place to prevent the scorpion from stinging me. Even if he does, the sting would be quickly overturned in a court of law."
