I saw Wicked yesterday with my sister's kids, and wow, it's really weird for kid-friendly pop cultural parables about fascism to feel infused with ripped-from-the-headlines urgency.

this is such a depressing misread of why Trumpism wins
American voters aren't drawn to parables
They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt

‘The Bible doesn’t tell us about research studies conducted by Saint Peter. Data is going to lose to parables every time.’ (Paraphrasing)
This is why bizarre bs, rumors, and propaganda from this administration are so effective. And - filling in the blanks -why the responses have been so inadequate.

Sometimes I have to try to convince someone that they’re missing out on Star Trek because it isn’t just heavy handed moral parables but is instead 85% heavy handed moral parables and then 15% turning into lizards who orgasm because you made the ship go too fast
the episode ends with her saying something to the effect of, "that candle ghost may have killed a lot of my ancestors, but at least he made grandma cum"

That's literally the only way Eleizer Yudkowsky knows how to write, because his entire belief system is so absurd it can only seem plausible if described in parables and references to movies or video games
Jesus this book is tedious. The authors like to explain everything through little made up fables and fictional dialog between anthropomorphized characters. Just skipping page after page of nonsense writing.

I remember this one is from when I was really into making up fables and parables. It’s still one of my favourites.

Hired a court jester to dance and jape, but instead he keeps telling me parables about snakes in the grass and other dangerous truths, am I the asshole if I boil him in oil for intemperance?

Was Trump real or did the writers of the time speak in parables?
Dear reader,
It’s a time of parables.
Dear reader,

historians are divided on whether trump was actually a real person, or the stories of a large series of petty tyrants over a period of perhaps 100 years whose stories got merged and blended together back when AI was unsophisticated and new

not many software development challenges have biblical parables about why they're direct curses from god for man's arrogance but localization is one of them

Do you believe in eschatological parables
Because you’re living in one

Again, as an atheist, I find it extremely annoying to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

One of the many things Octavia Butler clocked in the Parables series was the rise of cults.
I don't know why... but I feel like we're going to have a lot more cults in the coming months and years.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.
