Thank you. As much as many believe this is an advanced society, the opposite is true. This ignorance will destroy us. Comfort for many is not in knowing but refusing to know. Once again, great analysis.
I used to teach "Animal Farm" in grade 12 English. The students loved it; on first sight because the thin Harper Collins Canada edition of only 110 pages suited the farm boys in rural Saskatchewan (not that some farm boys don't enjoy thick meaty novels. The farm boy I married read "Atlas Shrugged" in grade 9) and next, because they loved that the pigs represented actual greedy human pigs, the worst of which profess to be fighting for the good of all men when all the time they operate with purely selfish motives.
So I really enjoyed this part:
"How accurate George Orwell was in his depiction of them in Animal Farm - right down to the animal he chose to represent them. They are pigs; insatiable gluttons gleefully impressed by their own filth."
Love Eric Blair. Sad that he died so young of tuberculosis or we would have gotten many more gems, or perhaps it was because of his life circumstance that he was so insightful.

I don't know if there was an author more prophetic and insightful than Orwell.

I listen to a local classic rock station and Ozzy singing about War Pigs has gotten a lot of air time these days.

Putin won’t be the one to initiate, he loves his country.
The demons behind the instigation will be uprooted shortly.

I hope you're right
