「#狼來了」的故事提醒我們,民主運動最怕的不是狼真的來了,而是反覆以誇大、失實或未經證實的指控發布危機警報,逐漸消耗公眾的信任與盟友的支持。
當真正的民主危機與壓迫降臨時,人們可能早已麻木,不再相信、不再響應,甚至失去警覺與抗爭的勇氣,最終使民主運動陷入孤立無援的困境。因此,#民主運動 不僅需要勇氣,更需要誠信;不僅要敢於揭示危機,更要以事實守護公信力。
The story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” reminds us that the greatest danger facing a democratic movement is not the wolf itself, but the repeated use of exaggerated, misleading, or unverified accusations to sound the alarm, gradually eroding public trust and the support of allies. When a genuine democratic crisis or oppression finally arrives, people may have already become desensitized, unwilling to believe or respond, and may even lose their vigilance and courage to resist, ultimately leaving the movement isolated and without support.
A democratic movement therefore needs not only courage but also integrity; it must not only dare to expose crises but also safeguard its credibility through truth and facts.
