Even if it is our fault, there is nothing we can do. Even if there is something we can do, it’s too late to do anything. It’s just that the first stage (denialism) is starting to become untenable.

minus-squareacargitzlinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoTHANK YOU! I was trying to remember where my brain dug this up from and I couldn’t pinpoint it. Bernard Woolley : What if the Prime Minister insists we help them? Sir Humphrey Appleby : Then we follow the four-stage strategy. Bernard Woolley : What’s that? Sir Richard Wharton : Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. Sir Richard Wharton : In stage one we say nothing is going to happen. Sir Humphrey Appleby : Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it. Sir Richard Wharton : In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do. Sir Humphrey Appleby : Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0751831/characters/nm0001329
