Some of us were doing infrastructure as code back when they still called us “Linux admins” and we were doing “gitops” with Subversion and Puppet. My title has changed a lot since the old days but some of the “new hotness” was around in the old days with different names. Fuck, look at LPARs.

How to make democracy more resilient to external bad actors is an open and very important question.

Maybe our descendants will figure it out the next time they implement democracy.

They still don’t realize

This is just too much benefit of the doubt. They know what they’re doing, they know why they’re doing it, and pretending otherwise is just continuing to participate in a shitty farce.

They know. They don’t give a shit. They would rather fuck their own grandparents to death than admit that the other side of the aisle could be right about anything, ever.

Seriously. They would fuck the blood out of grandma’s cooling body if it made a gay person or black person even mildly uncomfortable for a few seconds. The hate is the only thing that matters. The hate is everything to them.
