When wolves say to sheep “Can’t we all just get along?”, it’s not because they want to be friends but because they prefer obedient prey.

@aral Yup!Precisely. That's why these puppies are so adorable - they eat cats, bears, and wolves alike without prejudice.https://neenster.org/objects/660affe1-815d-4283-87c8-237926e0e6d7

Internet poorly conveys metaphors. There are people who pretend not to understand them so they can dodge open discussion. There are also people who honestly do not understand metaphors or get carried away by their literal layer, misssing or questioning the metaphorical meaning.So, let me rephrase what Aral says in a less metaphorical language.There is a group of people who make their living exploiting others. Their job is much easier if those exploited do not resist. Using various emotional tricks, the exploting ones aim to lower or nullify the resistance of those exploited. A proposal of "getting along" and "cooperation" is one of those tricks, as the true cooperation can only happen when the goals of respective parties are not contradictory (and in this case they are).

@8petros @aral Thank you for the summary. I resent seeing humans compared to sheep. I suspected this was happening. I also resent the insult to wolves who are beautiful and noble creatures and deserve better than being likened to a company like Meta. I suggest the alternative:When flesh eating bacteria say “Can’t we all just get along?”, it’s not because they want to be friends but because they want to get all over you and turn you into disgusting slime.

@8petros Yes, the internet absolutely conveys metaphors poorly, but frankly, so do most humans regardless whether they're online or not. Some of us (speaking personally here) have diagnosable mental health conditions (defined by some as a disability) where we are unable to comprehend them, regardless of how hard we try or how much education we pursue. Whilst I appreciate metaphors make difficult topics easier to swallow for some people (and in some collectivist cultures are used to teach lessons or even publicly shame people), for others of us it only increases misunderstanding, confusion, and frustration. @aral
