      Animal Farm is a story by George Orwell about the animals of the farm being led by pigs in overthrowing the farmer. The joke seems to be that Orwell both saw and described a literal farm uprising, and that he wrote this book instead because the animals hadn’t risen up

          There was a very similar meme where the farmer just described the animals and the pig said a thing about systemd. This is a reverse of that… It’s a meta meme basically that only works if you know the other half.
