Absolutely plausible prediction, based entirely on facts, that is, the obvious trends of governmental actions -- possibly even worse in Canada, where this animated short was produced, than in these increasingly repressed United States.
For several decades now (writing in 2023) there have been strong and even court-backed protests and opposition to right-wing and/or conservative and/or Christian attempts, and successful efforts, to impose moral beliefs into law.
In more recent years, a lot of those belief-system impositions, such as anti-gay laws, have been -- properly -- thrown out.
Perhaps buoyed by those successes, however, now the advocates, those previous victims, have taken the next step and started imposing their beliefs onto everyone else.
Beliefs, often claiming to be "scientifically proven," are being given the strength of laws and, far worse, government regulations.
Governments and their component politicians and -- again, far worse -- bureaucrats are using armed agents to tell people essentially how they "may" lead their own lives.
Everything in this little film has already, to one degree or another, and depending somewhat on where one resides, been forcibly imposed on the people. Everything, from what pharmaceuticals one may ingest to what clothing one may wear to what vehicle one may drive to, perhaps worst of all, what one may say and what one may read.
This animated short is very well done, even using bits of humor, but it should scare, maybe even terrify, every viewer. We are not totally fascistized or communized yet. A wide distribution of this little film might well help prevent the approaching tyranny.
