Animal Farm Film A Hollywood Perversion Of Orwell’s Anti-Communist Classic

Animal Farm Film A Hollywood Perversion Of Orwell’s Anti-Communist Classic

Published by Jenni Sidey

George Orwell’s prognostications about the future of authoritarianism have proven consistently accurate.  They have only been limited by his inability to foresee the creation of certain technologies which make the future look even more bleak.  The reason his books, like 1984 and Animal Farm, are considered classics of literature is because they are timeless.  Their warnings and messages still apply today and will probably apply centuries from now.  Animal Farm, first published in 1945, is a tale specifically written as an allegory for the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of Soviet Communism.  Despite the characters being talking animals, the themes are dark and disturbing.  It is a story about the naivety of the “underclass”, the exploitation of the “have-nots” by communists seeking to use gullible people as weapons against their “imperialist” and capitalist enemies.  It is a grotesque tragedy composed like a children’s novel, which makes it all the more effective.  It destroys the notion of “equity” and exposes the truth:  There is no such thing as a socialist Utopia, there can only ever be …

The Perversion of the Voting Rights Act

The Perversion of the Voting Rights Act

Published by Daniella Wilson

For the conservative editor and columnist James Jackson Kilpatrick, the Supreme Court decision outlawing school segregation was an atrocity. Brown v. Board of Education, he wrote in the 1950s, was a “revolutionary act by a judicial junta which simply seized power.” He warned in 1963 that the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act would destroy “the whole basis of individual liberty.” And in a 1965 National Review cover story, he argued that in order to “give the Negro the vote,” the Voting Rights Act would repeal the Constitution. Kilpatrick did not hide the basis of his beliefs: In an article that was spiked after the 1963 Birmingham Baptist Church bombing, titled “The Hell He Is Equal,” he insisted that “the Negro race, as a race, is in fact an inferior race.” Read: Kilpatrickism As the historian Nancy MacLean wrote in Freedom Is Not Enough, by the 1970s, this segregationist had refashioned himself as an opponent of racial discrimination, a champion of color-blindness. Liberal egalitarians supporting race-conscious remedies, he argued, were “worse racists—much worse racists—than …

“There is something very sinister happening behind the scenes on the set of Wicked, and somebody needs to do a wellness check on both of these young women,” Brown continued. “Apparently, everyone’s gay. The Wizard is gay, the witches are gay, the professors are gay, the animals are gay. Even though literally all of this is fantasy.” Brown added that she wasn’t reacting this way due to fear. “I don’t think any of us feel threatened by you,” she said. “We’re just annoyed, frankly, that you are trying to canonically change our most beloved stories that tell timeless tales of the battle between good and evil.” For Brett Cooper, who got her start at Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire and launched her own podcast earlier this year, the affection between Grande and Erivo had a disturbing subtext. “I really think, at the end of the day, it’s like this self-obsession with each other and an elitism,” she said this week. “They think that they and this, like, romance that they have with each other, and their …

Christian charity: homosexuality is a “degrading perversion”

Christian charity: homosexuality is a “degrading perversion”

Published by Sam Flores

The National Secular Society has reported a newly registered Christian charity to the regulator for promoting homophobia. Speke Baptist Church, which is based in Liverpool, registered under the charitable purpose ‘the advancement of religion’ in May. Charities are legally required to act for the public benefit. In a sermon titled ‘The world’s biggest problem’, Church pastor and charity trustee Stephen Casey says homosexuality is a “degrading perversion”, adding “it’s not natural, it’s not decent and it’s not normal”. The sermon was uploaded to YouTube in September but appears to be have delivered in person to an audience including children. Casey says the media had carried out a “relentless campaign” over 25 years to “reject the biblical understanding of homosexuality”. He says there is “glaring anatomical evidence” that homosexuality is unnatural, and opposes the idea that “there’s no sordidness that goes with it”. He says people “feel very crushed by this temptation” but the answer is not to say homosexuality is natural, decent or normal. He says people “pretend it’s not a sin” in order to …
