Hindsight is 20/20. The boy in the story was ultimately correct too, wasn’t he? The problem was that the townspeople didn’t believe the earlier warnings because they seemed exaggerated and blown out of proportion.
They actually believed the early warnings, that’s why they rushed to his rescue. but they were not exaggerated, they were lies. There were no wolves, he only wanted the attention.
This is not what happened here with the word “fascist” or “Nazi”. These people were always fascists, but really intelligent ones so they knew how to gaslight anyone into thinking they weren’t. Maybe sometimes they didn’t know it till the end, but that doesn’t make them less fascist.
So if you wanted to use an analogy, maybe you would say the boy in the story was attacked multiple times by wolves dressed like sheep. He cried for help and people rushed to his rescue. But the people always were really disappointed in him, cause there were never wolves, only sheep. And in the end everybody gets eaten, because the so called sheep actually were wolves.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I know what you tried to say, but your analogy was technically wrong.
