A Modest Proposal

Maybe this one will make you understand. In 1729 Jonathon Swift (Yes, that guy) wrote an essay called “A Modest Proposal” where he suggested that the Irish could solve their problem with the famine by selling the Irish children to the elite and they could eat them. Obviously this was a crude wake up call and not serious.

Consider if I wrote the same story today- Would I suggest we eat the immigrants when we run out of food because of tariffs? Would I suggest we sell them to the highest bidder (oh wait, that’s basically what the nazi is doing).

Get it now? What the dictator is doing is equivalent, no worse, than a suggestion made during another epic fail by humans. However, haven’t we evolved more by now than in the 18th century? Guess not all of us.

Being WOKE is being against eating Irish children in the 18th century to solve a famine.
