My default position on Social Media is to share info which might stimulate thinking.
I am not at all interested in debates or point-scoring and even less interested in opinions from the uninformed.
What I share is not necessarily my opinion but its generally from reputable sources or good minds.

We looked after pigs that were penned together but not related and it was them I was describing. They do squeal for food and can turn over a paddock in quick time.
I am familiar with the term. It was hurled at the Coppers in my youth but "Pigs to that" (scornful) is also in my vernacular.

A bit rough on pigs although they do fight each other for all sorts of things - eg put their foot on another one's food so they can't get at it....

Probably going to take western politicians and the mainstream media as long before they accept that the word ‘fascist’ can be applied to the Trump regime as it did for them to accept that the term ‘genocide’ could be applied to Israel’s actions in Gaza

The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Already Sabotaging The Ceasefire

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time.
