A parasitic wasp found its way into our house. My partner spotted it when it landed on a box of cereal, and carried the box outside. When the amusement park ride ended, the parasitic wasp rider flew elsewhere.
This aligns with my own observations over many years. Parasitic wasps are laid-back and copacetic (although their ovipositor targets might disagree). They are the hippie liberals of the Hymenoptera World Order.
In contrast, black and yellow paper wasps are the MAGA wasp conservatives. Wink at one, and it will go nuclear on you.

The problem with forgetting that metaphors are metaphors is that we start mistaking the map for the territory.
“Left” and “right” are useful shorthand, but they are not the actual political landscape.
Once we forget that, the metaphor becomes a box. People start defending the box instead of looking at the reality it was supposed to help us understand.
This happens everywhere: “the market”, “the state”, “the economy”, “society”, even “technology”. They are ways of thinking about things, not things themselves.
Metaphors help us see, they can also make us blind. So part of the #OMN path is learning to notice the metaphors we are living inside.
Simple stuff, but deeply important.
