“Hexbear.net,” a communist website known for posting images of pigs defecating on their own genitals, oddly echoes George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Just as the animals’ rebellion against human oppression leads to their own corrupt rule, the website’s subversive culture might inadvertently reveal the limitations of its revolutionary spirit as shock value replaces genuine discourse.

The similarity lies in the disillusionment arising from the erosion of original intentions. Both contexts expose how movements can devolve into self-serving entities that mock the principles they stand for. “Animal Farm” and Hexbear.net serve as cautionary tales, reminding us that the pursuit of ideals requires vigilance and self-awareness to prevent meaningful change from being compromised.
