The Wolf wins by talking to humans in tones sweet and tuneful, pretending he is even your friend. Narcissists and politicians use the same technique to get humans to listen to them.
But do modern humans even know this?
The beast knows the best way to win the war is to get close to you. The beast does not threaten you with knives anger and things you can see, but things you can't see. This subtle beast knows you better than you know yourself. The wolf knows your fears ( like guilt) and He is the first to face them and use them against you.
The beast knows that you might be focused on the arms race, whereas he knows the way to win the war is for him to play harmless and inflate your pride and your self -righteousness in particular. To con you before he gets his claws into you. To sap your energy and resources, in subtle ways, before he strikes.
We are rich, live on an island, and fancy ourselves as some of most fair-minded people in the world; . This feeblemindedness, based as it is on a simple self-righteous feeding game where we the threatened, agree that we are all good blokes, is no doubt what Mr Chamberlain represented when he left his country naked for war in 1945.
