It’s told by Thomas More at the end of his History of Richard III (c.1525): a fable that the lion announces execution of all horned beasts, and another with a lump on its forehead flees the forest: “Why fleest thou? That’s no horn on thy head” “Aye, but what if he call it a horn, where am I then?”

It’s true. I checked here.

    The biggest problem is that you have stupid people less discerning people who think “I’m not a camel” and because they know they are not that thing assume that they are safe or that others know they are not that thing.

      See also the “pick me’s” who are convinced they’ll be exempt from the targeting of minorities because they’re “one of the good ones.”

      Thats all well and good. But most people who think “im not a camel” are not affected in a way that they care about. By not caring they are “safe”. They don’t create issues for those in power.
