Complacency In George Orwell's Animal Farm

In the excerpt “He Got Game” there is a couple parts where the speaker shows “Complacency.” Complacency is showing a “not caring” attitude. We can relate the speaker's complacency back to George Orwell's Animal Farm.

One example of complacency is “He Got Game” is the first three lines. It states, “Everything’s approved/ People used/ Even murders excused/” This part of the poem can relate back to the part in Animal Farm where Napoleon basically murders his hardest worker, Boxer. Napoleon sold Boxer to a slaughterhouse. All the animals on the farm question this move of Napoleon, but none the animals cared enough to speak up.

In the third stanza of “He Got Game” it sates, There's a man with a gun over there/ Yeah that's right HA HA/ Telling

me that I got to beware/ Its time we stopped children/ What's that sound everybody look/ What's going down/” The speaker states there is a man with a gun warning him to beware, but all the speaker can do is laugh. Just like in Animal Farm, when the animals were puzzled and confused my the change of the commandments, all they could do was stand by because most all the animals had an attitude of complacency. The animals sensed that the pigs was being unfair to the rest of the animals, but they didn't care enough to take action.
The second stanza in “He Got Game” its states, “1 outta 1 million residents/Being dissident/” This example relates back to again when Napoleon and the rest of the pigs like Squealer would change each of the commandments. Each time the pigs change a commandment, the rest of the animals would question it, but again because of there attitude of complacency, wouldn’t do anything about it. The more the pigs would take advantage of the animals, it seems like the more the animals wouldn't care. Each time the animals would actually take action, Squealer would have a conceiving way to explain it, which made the animals more complacent.
