Interesting, I've seen videos about this nihilistic penguin the last few days on Instagram... Feels like content regurgitation, but I don't know who's creating and who's recycling it at the moment.

(On HN there's often a story from one site one day, and a few days later the same story reported by a different news site..)

It seems to have come from the US Department of Homeland Security - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7WqVx9x89s

Huh.. considering the penguin that wanders off alone ends up hungry and dead, that seems like the appropriate animal for Trump's Amerikkka...

Internet commentator and political analyst made a reference to this a few days ago https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/2015810397295583630

I suspect it was something like that.

The article itself seems to predate this:

> It’s a decade since the film officially premiered at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, and it remains one of Herzog’s finest achievements.

So it would seem the article is nearly a decade old.

It was big on TikTok a few months ago, which makes sense that it's on Instagram now.

The Trump administration posted it.
