Nothing More Conservative...

...than a liberal.

Resist!

The very essence of "resist" is fight the change. Sounds like the conservative affection for preservation. Yet now this is coming from the self-professed radical left. Or, nearby, those that refuse to disclose openly, pretending it isn't the most open secret in daVille. Everyone sees the true colors. 

Ironically these are the folks trying their dead level best to create an overarching surveillance state. That seems like something you'd expect from the law-and-order camp. You know, the folks the lefties call nut-jobs. But it is the "abolish cash bail" folks who want everyone continuously surveilled by AI. 

And then, these same proponents of AI surveillance are sending their army of cultivated protestors out to condemn any and all data centers. The same data centers used by AI systems. What is their long game? Let China completely dominate the data center market? So, their plan is to use AI for heavy-handed surveillance of all of us, but to also have all that data hosted in China. Or would they hide that behind "unintended consequences" which is the most common outcome for any government activity? Ooops.

That's not the real problem. The real problem is these fools were elected, and they probably will be again.

Not Projecting

From the get-go TOD has not been supportive of the notion of cityhood and since the ramrod referendum the City has not disappointed. Unless you're one of those who drank deeply from the Kool-Aid.

An increasing number of socio-political drunks are suffering hangovers and as with the alcoholic variety, pointing out the malady is not well received. It seems human nature to take offense, to lash out defensively, when a painful affliction is duly noted, especially when the pain is self-inflicted.

Nonetheless Dunwoody has matured from giddy city-party-central to stunned "THIS is NOT what I voted for" to despair-steeped jeering and parody. Seriously, it isn't just TOD and more importantly the disillusion and disaffection is growing. Rapidly. In strength.

It has resulted in a post-IRC invocation of Godwin's Law using the oft-re-titled clip below. Again, not TOD.  More like "TiD."

A reaction to a code complaint reveals some bigger problems
The real problem is not the sudden disappearance of rose-coloured glasses in daVille but that Dunwoody has neither leadership nor staff that is half as devoted, half as competent as that depicted in this clip.
