Thanks for posting this. (What a lot of work you must've done to find
it.) As a result I feel I have a much better understanding of the
environment in which these thought processes (those displayed in the
commit message) would be considered rational, even admirable. Food for
thought.
I found the language difficult to understand. For example, "in the midst
and post the election" instead of "during and after the election". And
multiply-stacked nouns. And nouns used as verbs. Much like
"management-speak". If you believe you have something important to say,
then at least say it clearly.
E. B. White was born in New York -- I believe that's in the northern
part of the United States, otherwise known as "The North" or the side
that fought to end slavery.
E. B. White was educated at Cornell.
We should acknowledge that he famously showed an interest in web
development and invented a sort of mouse. ;-)
