  I called a cop “Napoleon” once. He assumed I referred to the 18^th^ century emperor. Not big readers, cops.

    Napoleon the emperor who tried to conquer Europe and nearly succeeded is more famous than the fictional character so that makes sense

    Shitpost. Indeed… From Wikipedia:

    In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin (“un conte satirique contre Staline”),[7] and in his essay, “Why I Write” (1946), wrote: “Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”.
