“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

When You're About to get Eaten Should You Stop Feeding the Wolves?
If you re the one being devoured, wouldn't it be a bit too late to try to stop the process?
Wolves, I imagine, are very like leftists in that they are impervious to reasoned argumentation and immune to impassioned entreaties to stop being what they are.
That's find. The wolves in our political system are devouring you. You can feed them with your vote if you want to. But as you say, they are impervious to reasoned argumentation and immune to impassioned entreaties to stop being what they are. Wolves.

Then there is no help coming us from any participation in the "political" sphere...
That's cryptic. I'm not ashamed to say "I don't get it." Should I be?
