The wolf can eat as many sheep as it likes. The sheep are toothless but not the wolf.

In Nazi Germany, they taught children to like the wolf over the sheep.

That's the problem with metaphors: You can emphasize the aspects you want when you put them early enough into people's heads. When they "just don't have" enough data on their hard-drive to compare them to, set them in relation to. Propaganda works the better the earlier it is applied. A well-known (but seldom discussed) fact.

Just look at McDonald's and their obvious "Kids Club" bs. And they still can sell this chemical waste by ton.
