The sad part of that analogy is, eventually, there is a wolf.

• Nazis exist.
• People have overused the term to its detriment.
• So when real Nazis appear, they can no longer be recognized.

The parable works for both groups: those who call foul in bad faith or too much & those that don’t listen to legitimate warnings. Both groups make mistakes in the end. The boy and the town lose their collective sheep to wolves.

I don’t know what evidence these people would need to see in order to have their world view challenged. I feel like if Musk was at a Nazi rally while talking about how apartheid benefited his family, people would still find a delusional way to not see what is so obvious.
