    Idk, this meme makes me think of the kids story “the boy who cried wolf”. Screaming doom every year desensitizes people to the possibility of the threat.

      Except it would be like the kid actually saw the wolf everytime and was never lying but nobody believed him anyway when the wolf was also in plain view for everyone else

      There is no parallel with that story, because in that story, the boy didn’t actually see the wolf. In real life, signs of nazi resurgence where clearly present but dismissed (motly by far-right leaning people anyway)
