It’s not writing, it’s crap.

A few sentences.

Alone.

Incorrect grammar.

Not sentences, just phrases.

You’re supposed to think it has more impact.

If you can’t be bothered to write your own words on social media, then just don’t post.

Your response was “I’d like to live in your world”, implying that you believe that it’s rarely the case that people can get government officials on the stand. That’s true for most people, but not true for people with deep pockets for lawyers.

Most people in the world don’t care how software comes into existence or what the source code looks like, and never did. Just like most people never cared how most anything else was made.
