Since sensitive political events were given only veiled metaphorical references in ancient times

I was going to comment on this, but then I remembered that the Christian book of Revelation- mostly a political metaphor for Roman persecution- has spawned numerous crazy cults, so all I'm going to say is that the use of metaphors in history is a good way to cause trouble further down the line. XD

Yes, yes it is. Why can't people be clear about what they mean?

On the other hand not using metaphors can invite a whole lot of trouble in the now, so I guess between trouble today and trouble centuries in the future some people would rather put it way off. :P
