What it says, basically, that societal decay is like boil-a-frog. It creeps up on you, and before you know it, you're cooked.
“Brazil is becoming Argentina, Argentina is becoming Venezuela, and Venezuela is becoming Zimbabwe.”---James Eccleton
What are we becoming? Maybe the European Union, but that faces the Atlantic, which is what faces those countries in the above quote. To contrast that with the US and the Pacific facing countries in Latin America, which embrace free trade.
Or maybe right wing v. left wing politics. Or, if you follow what Reagan said---freedom v. tyranny. Freedom means telling the truth, or the ability to tell the truth and not have the government punish you for it. Then the frog might understand that he is being boiled, and will have the chance to jump out.
