Squealer played a pivotal role in the breakdown of Animalism by manipulating language and distorting the truth to serve the interests of the ruling pigs. His persuasive rhetoric convinced the other animals to accept increasingly unjust policies and betray their original ideals. By continuously altering the commandments and spreading Propaganda, Squealer undermined the principles of equality and solidarity that Animalism was founded upon, ultimately leading to the farm's descent into tyranny.
Squealer's job was to change the commandments
Squealer is the form of propaganda.
Squealer undermines Snowball by spreading propaganda that portrays him as a traitor and a dangerous figure. He claims that Snowball is secretly collaborating with humans and has been sabotaging the farm's efforts. By manipulating the other animals' fears and using persuasive language, Squealer shifts blame for any problems on the farm to Snowball, effectively discrediting him and consolidating power for Napoleon. This strategic misinformation helps to maintain control and prevent dissent among the animals.

In Chapter 7 of "Animal Farm," Squealer portrays Snowball as a traitor and a scapegoat for the farm's problems. He claims that Snowball is secretly collaborating with the humans and sabotaging the animals' efforts, using propaganda to instill fear and maintain control. This manipulation serves to reinforce Napoleon's power and distract the other animals from their own hardships, painting Snowball as a constant threat to their safety and well-being. Squealer's rhetoric effectively shifts blame and unites the animals against a common enemy.
Napoleon wants the power of a leader, while Squealer is content to spread Napoleon's propaganda.
Squealer is the pig responsible for spreading the propaganda of Napoleon to the other residents of the farm. Squealer uses his skill at jargon and speech to keep the animals firmly under napoleons control.
When George Orwell describes Squealer as being able to "turn black into white", he is in fact referring to Squealer's persuasive skill. In other words, Squealer has enough persuasive talent to be able to convince the animals in Animal Farm that black is white or vice-versa.
The Knacker. He is made into glue. Squealer says he is going to the hospital, but the truck says the Glue Factory. Squealer lies about that the hospital, this was one of the many examples of Propaganda.
