Don't Kill the Messenger: But We're In Big Trouble


SEE HERE Europe is ahead of us. Britain is ahead of us. We should see the future of our own societal dissolution in the collapse of Europe as their society is culturally overrun.

I stumbled upon this reference accidentally because I followed an interesting quote:
People are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: ‘If only,’ they love to think, ‘if only people wouldn’t talk about it, it probably wouldn’t happen.’ --Enoch Powell, quoted on Brussels Journal.

The thrust of the quote is often associated with the notion of mistaking the messenger for the message. The bearer of ill tidings is not the cause of the problem, but may be giving enough warning to do something about it.
