Ok that’s a lie, I got animal farm. I got it because because my English teacher seems obsessed with it but I was luckily spared from doing it in class and instead I’m doing An Inspector Calls. I thought I might read it so that I have a better understanding of it in case I need to refute it.

Wish me luck,

Yours truly

    Why would you need to refute animal farm? It’s fiction. If someone brings it up to support their argument, laugh at them.

      For real. We’re not going to draw political conclusions using Star Wars as a reference. It’s a fictional book completely written by a paid anti-communist. If you use it as an argument against communism you’ve already lost in my eyes.

    When I was in Middle School, I was assigned with the smart kids who going places, to do an Animal Farm trial. Looking back super manipulative and blatant propaganda, but I was assigned to Squealer cause I was loud af (still am). Anyways this is me saying that I as an outspoken communist voice in my area, and in support of Stalin, makes me wondered if I am a commie by internalizing Squealer.

      one hell of a method actor over here. So into their role, they became it for the rest of their life.

        ::: Yeah, because I was really confused with the book’s messaging, as Squealer, I accidentally incarcerated Napoleon. So now I am in this weird meta headspace, like am I defending Stalin because he has been unjustly demonized and did so much for the working class, or is it because I couldn’t do it in the trial and now have like the Napoleon version of daddy issues?

        I love being Squealer, he’s based af.

    All dystopian fiction is inherently unscientific in the sense that it relies on the reader’s personal interpretation of a contextless “society” which itself is a questionable extrapolation on the part of some delusional bullshit author. If someone brings up Orwell during an argument, laugh in their face.
