Which version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf did you have growing up? The one where Peter cries wolf and there’s a wolf but it’s in the woods so the townsfolk do nothing, then the townsfolk call Peter a wolf, and then when the wolf arrives in the village and starts taking people and Peter cries wolf the townsfolk say the word “wolf” is so overused it doesn’t mean anything anymore?
Because I don’t remember that version.

I think you might be confusing two different stories here. The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop’s Fables. Peter and the Wolf is a musical by Sergei Prokofiev. They both have a similar setup (in the sense that both involve a boy and a wolf) but they play out quite differently.

That’s fair. Explain how calling out fascists being fascists that haven’t yet realized there full potential is like The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
