If ever there were a metaphor for the ongoing turbulence and misery of 2016, it's this miniature piglet being brutally tossed into the air like a tiny, squealing pancake by its irascible mother.

It's unclear what exactly the piglet does to annoy its mother in the clip above, but one thing is clear: at one time or another, we've all been that piglet.

Society in 2016 is that piglet.
