Just like the politics of Mike Judge's IDIOCRACY are terrible if you analyze them in any depth But his defense was the movie wasn't about a political manifesto but a *feeling* "It's the feeling of getting smacked in the head and called a f*g for answering a question in class"

An elderly relative saw consecutive children’s productions of Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm, and the two became fused in her mind (via pigs). I’d like to report that this resulted in new insights but it was actually just hella confusing

Piggy in LotF and Snowball in Animal Farm (and Goldstein in 1984, who like Snowball is a stand in for Trotsky) are pretty much the same character
