...sometimes Pussies can get so full of shit, they becomes Assholes themselves... because Pussies are only an inch and a half away from Assholes.

Literature

But as the animals outside gazed at the scene, it seemed to them that some strange thing was happening. What was it that had altered in the faces of the pigs? … Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question now what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
George Orwell, Animal Farm (final words)

"I remember once being much amused at seeing two partially intoxicated men engage in a fight … which … after a long, and rather harmless contest, ended in each having fought himself out of his own coat, and into that of the other. If the two leading parties of this day are really identical with the two in the days of Jefferson and Adams, they have performed about the same feat as the two drunken men."
Abraham Lincoln, as quoted in Lincoln on Leadership

...the Party rejects and vilifies every principle for which the Socialist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in the name of Socialism.

Music

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "Hooray for Our Side"
— "For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)", Buffalo Springfield

Chad: When me and Brad first met, I didn't think we'd get along, but, turns out, we kind of agree on everything.
Both: Your racial identity is the most important thing! Everything should be looked at through the lens of race!
Brad: Jinx! You owe me a Coke!

Chad: We both think minorities are a united group who think the same and act the same.
Brad: And vote the same. You don't wanna lose your black card.

Brad: Sorry, I don't know, I just think we should—
Both: —Roll back discrimination laws so we can hire based on race again!
Chad: Jinx! Now you owe me a Coke!

"In this case, [South Park is] pretty much admitting that even though there are valid things to critique within the woke movement, all those people out there who spend all their time talking about how terrible woke culture is are doing pretty much the exact same thing as Disney. These people ripping on wokeness all the time are also creating incredibly lazy content, uploading the exact same video every day, making the exact same jokes that everyone else has already made, profiting by pandering to the anti-woke crowd. Instead of presenting any valid criticisms of woke culture, they all just talk about how wokeness is coming for everything you love. They'll spend half the video reading an article about how they're making Tinker Bell black and at the end they'll talk about how it's just ridiculous. 'This is the woke liberal agenda, it's so hypocritical! Oh my god, I have to pick my pronouns in a video game now, what's next?' It's all just lazy pandering garbage that anyone could make. Anyone could buy a microphone and build a brand off of ripping into woke stuff all day."
