        Yes, but not hard enough for them tolearn the lesson… For once, they shall be taught as they wish others to be taught to the beating should continue until they learn or go extinct

          I can’t imagine simultaneously thinking of people as sheep and being disappointed in how sheeplike they act. Like, my brother in Christ, it is you who is characterizing them as sheep, and those things are bred to be okay with being fleeced. Find a better metaphor.

            But that’s the whole point. We are disappointed in them for acting sheeplike, for letting someone fleece them instead of thinking more critically. They are humans and should know better.

            Either way, I don’t think sheep should be exploited.

              If you call them sheep and talk endless shit about them then you should expect nothing less from them.

              A better metaphor would one of a lion, chained and humiliated, robbed of its strength, made to believe it’s a lowly sheep. This whole sheeple thing is petty and vindictive to the point of being counterproductive.

      That will lead to you getting jailed for discrimination immediately, with all your close relatives being smeared too.
