Wow what? Where did it go? Well anyways, it's called “Dinner for few” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTDdIO74BuA
Thanks for sharing! Fantastic film and analogy.
The symbolism of the pigs and cats is pretty obvious, so if anyone's up for it, I'd like to discuss the man running the "food processor" and the chain snake.
I'm pretty sure most everyone watching this will identify with the cats, but, I think the sad reality is that most of us are the man. Whether we like it or not, WE are the ones collecting the resources, building the products and otherwise feeding the pigs by destroying the world we live in.
The man's intentions are never learned. Why does he feed the pigs, and then rebuild it all in exactly the same way, when it seems obvious that the same thing will happen again and again? My answer is that it's all he knows. He was doing alright with the pigs, and doesn't know if the tiger will see him as an ally or a foe, so, back to the safety of the familiar.
The snake, I don't really get. It implies that the pigs are forced to sit and eat non stop. As if they would walk away from the table if they had a choice. What does the snake represent? Possibly capitalism as a whole, or a secret deep state pulling the strings? If there was no snake under the table, does it change the interpretation of the story?
Can you update the post with a proper link? I'd like this to get some traffic, but I think people aren't seeing the link in the comments
The guy serving the food is the human that can see no other way of life than having people with privilege around. Native Americans didn't have to follow the chief's orders. There were no prisons and no authority. No man better than the next. The guy serving the food is the guy who can see no other way of life than being controlled. He's the carrier of greed that finally results in one person exploiting everyone else and starting the cycle over again.
