Angry Birds Capitalism

If you stop to think, Angry Birds represents the struggle present in the working class on a capitalist society. The pigs, which have an entire island named after them, were seeking nothing but sustenance, which could only be found in the form of bird eggs or cannibalism. The birds aren’t the heroes. They represent the rich. The 1%. They arrived at Piggy Island and immediately started implementing their “nests” (industries), and when the pig (workers) attempts to steal the only food they could eat at the moment, the birds chastise and hunt them down, killing thousands just for the sake of killing. Not only do they kill countless families, they also destroy their homes. The more destruction they cause, the more “stars” they get. The stars represent how the rich can get away with any crime just for the simple fact that they have money. The Mighty Eagle represents the law enforcement, who completely destroys whatever poor thing is in their path, all because the PLAYER paid MONEY for it. Angry Birds is more than just a kids game. It showcases the dark, cruel reality we live in at this exact moment.
