[sudo-discuss] forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings

[Patrick Schmidt]

I am a bit sad about the comparison of the wonderful people of
sudoroom with a bunch of privileged mysoginistic egomanic dudes
responsible for many atrocities...

The metaphor that I think matches best for Sudo is the Nebuchadnezzar,
the ship from the Movie "The Matrix". Most people freed themselves
from the mind control of the system that we all grew up in, ok some
people still consume/identify with the old paradigm, some still have
to work for the machine but their heart not with it, sadly many people
still eat the toxic foods literally made by the machine, (which makes
us sick and creates more customers for the corporate matrix) ,
but for the most Sudo people are some of the most rad people out there.

I am not the only Neo in this story who learned that we have to
co-create a new reality instead of consuming the false reality of the
matrix...
lets keep vigilant for the attacks of the machines!
