It’s told by Thomas More at the end of his History of Richard III (c.1525): a fable that the lion announces execution of all horned beasts, and another with a lump on its forehead flees the forest: “Why fleest thou? That’s no horn on thy head” “Aye, but what if he call it a horn, where am I then?”
It’s true. I checked here.
also, it’s all just pretense. we all know roughly what they actually mean. we all know what this apparatus of law will be used for. we all know what order it will be used for. we all know where this will end for so fucking many of us.
and I think skipping the part where the living envy the dead is deeply lazy. let’s not cut corners here; everyone escalate as slowly as you possibly can.
