Animal Farm...The Trump Era
For your viewing pleasure...George Orwell's Animal Farm novella on video...Stephen King recognised the novella as a story about a political uprising of farm occupants much like the political rise of the Trump era in America regarding the working class...but careful what you wish for...there is a down ward spiral in regards to the treatment and collective equality on the farm...as they spiral into the abyss...truth is non-existent and power is the new king...submission to such demagoguery is paramount...in the end...the farm animals could no longer recognise the pigs from farmers or the farmers from the pigs...Enjoy and beware....

It Can't Happen Here is a semi-satirical 1935 political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis, and a 1936 play adapted from the novel by Lewis and John C. Moffitt.
Published during the rise of fascism in Europe, the novel describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a politician who defeats Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values
However it cheers me up more than you can believe, that he too completely failed to get his point across at times
His trickle down voodoo economics was proven wrong a long time ago.
Pig=Trump
Like the homeless and the jobless situations but yet I've also read about on how the employment is better.Really for who?I suspect that the numbers are being played with but why whom don't know.
Love his work...but also enjoyed Atwood novel The Handmaid Tale...another dystopian tale...quite fitting considering these times...
George Orwell on Trump and Putin, in 1945: “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Cracked as a pot, mind
I liked Animal Farm because I just love the video content...but it does give a sense of how politicians can twist words or ideologies for their own gain...be careful of what you wish for...
Stephan King is one heck of a writer...
If you can find a video of the satire regarding fascism...please post it...sounds interesting...
Cheers
Yes...that would be Canada...lol...
So much for being friends of the south...Trump is ruining many friendships with other nations...
But Hillary did win the popular vote...so we need to understand that not all voted for the orange man...in other words...not all are ignorant and angry...
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command,” Orwell wrote.
Trump's words...
“What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening,” Trump told a gathering of the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Tuesday.
Scary right!!
Enjoy...
Thanks for posting...it makes you wonder why some accept all those lies...
It is most concerning...Trudeau and company have to deall with him regarding NAFTA...I feel for them and the many Canadians and Americans affected by this issue...sad that Trump chooses ego over jobs...and what is fair practice...
Thought I would put it up because Korn made a suggestion tof read the book...interesting though how dictators need to woo people before getting the public to give them their obedience/loyalty...through fear...blaming others for troubling times...
A blue print for Trump...
V - Seriously, what is wrong with you ? Is this how you teach your students to treat women ? I have ultimate respect for nurses and others who help people, especially when they need it most. I also have respect for fellow teachers. But, your behavior
on here, is causing me to loose more & more respect for you. What & who exactly do you teach ?
Simple...he teaches hate...
The older people have a bigger past to hold onto.
As each generation eventually dies off, the net result is, that the past held onto gets
more in the future and whether they like it or not, each generation is more progressive
and able to handle newer ideas and findings.
So conservatism is essentially a losing battle.
But it goes down tooth & nail...... & knees, hips, minds, etc...
