@MartyFouts@mastodon.online @thirstybear@agilodon.social they want to ban their houses being used for fueling the fire. The people roasting marshmallows and baking bread on their burning houses are not entitled to their houses as fuel and the arsonists have convinced them it’s necessary and okay.
So no, that’s not a problem. You just forgot that part of the metaphor.

@707Kat@mastodon.art @thirstybear@agilodon.social Well you have certainly belabored the metaphor more than I thought possible but your example still has people going after the wrong people, your “marshmallow toasters” instead of the arsonists.
