This is to remind the viewer that the Lion King is a work of fiction, as in real life, bootlickers will keep licking even as their skull is stomped in by that selfsame boot.
Yes but art mimics life mimics art and so the cycle continues.
I think it's a "circle" of life.
As I heard a pastor say, 'The crowd chose Barabus, not jesus.' Even when there is a better option, it doesn't guarantee a win.
Yeah. Fuck.
Remember in WW2 when all the Germans turned on Hitler and killed him?
Oh wait. They didn’t.
It took the Italians having lost before they acted, and they’re currently being led by his offspring both political and biological.
To be fair, Giorgia Meloni has somehow been acting more moderate than expected.

The lion king, is about an oppressive regime and their "in group" that live in the pride lands.
The hyenas are an oppressed underclass that is easily radicalized by the promise of power over their oppressors. The whole situation could have been avoided easily, simply by Mufassa raising up the hyenas to equality with the rest of the animals.
The hyenas clearly had enough power to topple the pride lands, since they did it.
Stop ruining my childhood 😜

I am looking forward to breaking the ventilation system after they retreat to their bunkers and knowing they will suffocate in their Dimond encrusted vaults.
This sounds like a beautiful poem
The lion king has some weird toxic messages in it if we’re being honest.
Whah? The children's movie which naturalizes a monarchy? Naaaah. /j
Nah bro eat a bug
At least not all of it's dark reality

So...
Eat the rich?
the direction of the nation is fucked permanently
second hand vengeance will not change it
A nation is only as doomed as its people let it be.
So, uh, yeah, not looking great right now, but it's only permanent as long as we accept it as so.
Spoiler alert!
literal fairy tale ending lmao
