You know how Nostalgia Critic likes the intended message of The Lion King but doesn’t like how it’s presented because what happens in the film is somewhat contradictory to the message? I can say the exact same thing about Animal Farm, because, not gonna lie, Snowball kind of botches the intended message of the book/movie.

So the intended message of the Animal Farm is “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”, shown by how oppressive Farmer Jones and Napoleon are when they’re in absolute control of the farm, but between Farmer Jones’s and Napoleon’s regimes, Snowball was the one with absolute power and the farm was perfectly fine under his short rule. If absolute power inherently corrupts, Snowball should have ended up exactly like Napoleon, but no. Snowball wasn’t corrupt despite his absolute power. So really the message the book/movie accidentally ends up giving is “With absolute power comes absolute responsibility. Napoleon wasn’t bad because he had absolute power, he was bad because he used his power to replace capitalism with state capitalism instead of real socialism like Snowball.”. I’m sorry, but that’s a huge flaw, and a dangerous one at that, because it’s basically saying that absolutism can work but it just didn’t work this time, almost the same as when a tankie says “Last socialist dictatorship failed, but I promise this socialist dictatorship is sure to succeed.” despite all of us knowing it’s going to fail because it’s going to be under a dictatorship.

Does anyone else see this problem with the message or is it just me?

I will be so shocked if Napoleon or Squealer die but if they do I think it would be fitting end if they were killed by the puppies, like how Scar was killed by the hyenas

On July 24, 1957, Animal Farm debuted in Argentina.

I can't find my Animal Farm and windmills-as-soldier's-meaningless-fight-against-the-wrong-enemy Supernatural post. :(

It's feeling relevant again, as windmills appeared in SPNWin Mary's childhood flashback.

The needs of the windmill must override everything else, he said.

The windmill now symbolizes the gaslighting, or psychological manipulation, that the pigs have inflicted on the rest of the animals.

Windmills are representative of serving causes at the expense of everything else. It's why they appear in the hotel motifs in Free to Be Me and You as early as season 5. It's one of the reasons why Cas's heavenly-soldier-power, his grace, is hidden by Metatron inside Don Quixote.

The windmill is an esoteric connection to higher power, but in the context of SPN, that higher power is rotten. Rigged, even.

possibly my only contribution to the mouthwashing fandom

While touring on the San Diego duck vehicles, we actually caught a glimpse of the navy training dolphins and sea lions. According to the guide, the sea lions were much better at being food motivated and trustworthy, but the dolphins were a bit more agile and quick, so that’s why they use both. They find and ‘tell’ the military where underwater mines are and such

I’m generally against the military, and I’m kind of against using animals in such dangerous jobs. But regardless of my feelings, it’s happening. And I’ve been wondering for a while how ethically involved are these animals. Like, are they domesticated? Are dolphins really that smart, enough that they can consent to this sort of thing? I know they need lots of mental stimulation, like border collies but even more. And I figure this is the right post to ask.

(Also for the record I am 99% sure the duck vehicle company respected the animals well, and asked us not to feed them at all. It’s been about 2 years since I went so I may not remember everything but they seemed good to me)

I think it's a common misconception that domesticating animals is somewhat like enslaving them. It really is more of a symbiotic relationship. No wild animal would have willingly put up with early humans if they didn't get something out of it. Wolves wouldn't have stayed with us and become dogs if they weren't getting food and safety out of it. Many large herbivores that are now domesticated could and would have easily trampled their early human captors or broken their enclosures open if they didn't have a reason to stay. Sometimes individual animals still do if we don't give them what they need.

The animals that have stayed with us for thousands of years have evolved to cooperate with us better. Dogs have additional facial muscles around their eyes that wolves lack in order to mimic human facial expressions. Sheep grow their wool perpetually while their wild counterparts don't because a bigger fleece means they're more likely to be allowed to breed and be kept around. Domestic dairy cows produce much more milk than wild bovine species and domestic hens lay more eggs. Do you know how energy costly producing eggs or milk is for an animal? It's pretty intense! They wouldn't be able to do that if we hadn't given them the food and safety from predators and the elements to.

And we really need to show these animals respect and gratitude for what they give us by taking excellent care of them. They gave up a lot to be with us, often including the means to take care of themselves in the wild. That's a huge reason why I'm not against using animal products, but I hate factory farming. They are still living, breathing creatures with needs and feelings. They deserve a comfortable life and, when the time comes, a humane death.

Snowball! Snowball! Snowball!

I dont know what this means so im assuming this is a invintation to show u my female snowball design that i made at 3am

ok regretevator fandom i know its "canon" that fleshcousins are only sentient and not sapient but when you look at the dialogue of fleshcousins it seems to say the opposite.

fleshcousins can and will react to being referred to negatively

not only in this instance with gnarpy does fleshcousin argue with gnarpy, it also emphasizes words like how someone irritated would. like hello?

chat fleshcousin literally tells lampert to kill himself after being insulted. there is no conversation elsewhere where fleshcousin gets told to kill itself to learn this. also before the threat it tries to insult lampert. thats not a parrot thats a very insulted and very salty creature.

in the first interaction with spud, the fleshcousin seems to be talking to itself and then appears to get irritated when spud is like "wow i could have ended up like you guys"

in the second interaction with spud, it seems to actually correct him and then, to me, appears to do its equivalent of an irritated grunt when spud is like "you're just like a personal diary!!"

the above is more tangentially related but fleshcousin seems to not only be genuinely irritated by unpleasant's existence, but then proceeds to also use language of others that it has learned. i find it interesting that specifically gnarpy and infected are used here, as gnarpy is the one who has the most irritated dialogue to learn from, and infected is the most related to unpleasant

2. it knows how to communicate discomfort/pain

ok i know this sounds weird but trust me. in most animals that can be trained to use words to communicate, it often takes A WHILE for them to accurately use language to mention pain. normally they learn stuff for things like food first.

for this one, the second and third line are my focus. the first one is pretty clear in the distaste for the snowball. however, the third line reveals not only a negative reaction, but trying to joke about it. "kb what is the joke" well you see my non-fleshcousin-brained friend, the joke is [as best translated as possible] "is it already winter?"

the flash beacon is what we're really here for though. not only can it associate bright, painful light to something it already knows, it A: communicates that it hurts and B: is able to recognize that you control it and asks you to stop hurting it

the reason why that is Huge is that most animals don't as for you to stop. they either run away or fight. when they ask for things to stop, most commonly its with another animal in the same species with their (body) language.

fleshcousin asks for you to stop in YOUR language!! thats huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. fleshcousins can recollect people and inform others about them‚ and can potentially observe other peoples relationships

first off, fleshcousin tells mark that wallter misses him. [also, it appears it finds it funny that mark censors itself but that might just be me]

in this one, fleshcousin tells wallter that mark misses him and just how much he does, as well!!!! like hello thats crazy!!

this one has fleshcousin describe its own relationship with bive and scary mike, which honestly makes me want to bawl my eyes out. like it calls her and mike friends. i literally will cry forever about this

but the most interesting thing fleshcousin mentions multiple times...

IS HOW OFTEN IT MENTIONS FOLLY, AND SOMETIMES MIMICS HER?!

the last one under petal cone references folly's laugh

this one might be a stretch but i think this idle is referencing folly's forest, the "barn" being the forest and "the wrongs" referencing how closely related folly's deal is to malice

when you look at its folly interactions it seems VERY interested in folly

we're mentioning the farm again

we're just straight up describing folly here. hello!!

now listen any other time i'd call it a stretch but its talking to wallter, who it knows the relationships of. folly is heavily associated with that gigantic tree. pillows are associated with sleep. this has to be at least a red herring. like. chat.

theres more but this is already getting too long. chat fleshcousins are sapient if you look at the actual writing, whether intended or not!!
