Sigh.. this book infuriates me but in such a good way. The social commentary on hypocrisy and corruption of the government. damn. Orwell perfectly shows how easily overtime the population (in this case the animals can be manipulated by a higher power (in this case, by the pigs)

This book taught me that pigs cannot be trusted and they will manipulate you until they have power over you. They will gaslight you into believing they’re leading a revolution when in reality THEY’RE the bad guys.

A fast read and good allegory/fable. I pretty much could tell what was going to happened but was still engaged and surprised as to how it was executed. Masterful.
