“Comrades!” he cried. “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are
doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually
dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself! Our sole object in
taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (and this
has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely
necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brain-workers. The
whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day
and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that
we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would
happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes,
Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,” cried Squealer almost
pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, “surely
there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?”

Animal Farm. Such a prescient book, as so many of them are. I remember back when Trump was elected all my liberal friends and their book groups read 1984 and Animal Farm, so that they would recognize tyranny when Trump brought it to us. When he did just that, by declaring a state of emergency for the covid con, those same friends complained he was not being authoritarian enough!!! And today those friends are marching in lockstep, demanding that we all do the same.
Trust the science, the most anti science statement ever.
Politicians fail to grasp George was a fiction writer but I have long since put 1984 into the fact section. And animal farm, plus brave new world among others. Have a superb Sunday funday dear lady.
This is one of Neal's best videos.
Indeed he did.
