    “Advances in modern communications and image processing technology means we can cry wolf as often as we wish.”

      The problem with the boy who cried wolf was that his method of distributing his message was to direct and required he himself to be the messenger of the falsehoods leaving him unable to disassociate his public persona from the falsehoods!

      But today, our means of communication is far more decentralized and horizontal. The boy today could utilize OpenClaw to orchestrate automated smear campaigns against the wolf, from AI driven sheep-puppet accounts while simultaneously cultivating a cult of personality through a digital media empire.

      With modern tools we can cry wolf as often as we want!

        OP made me laugh.

        You filled me with an inescapable emptiness.

        The true lesson you should take from the boy who cried wolf is “never tell the same lie twice”

      “Wolf! There’s a wolf!”

      “@gork is thjis true?”

      “The boy is known to have yelled this before as a joke, so it stands to reason that there is no wolf and the boy is lying. What he’s not lying about is the topic of ‘white genocide’, with some claiming it’s real, citing farm attacks and ‘Kill the Boer’ as evidence.”
