Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Apache foundation ousts TinkerPop project co-founder for tweeting 'offensive humor that borders on hate speech'

While at it, Apache should also change its name, offensive appropriation of the Native Americans culture

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has removed Marko Rodriguez from the TinkerPop project he co-founded because his provocative Twitter posts were said to have violated the ASF Code of Conduct.

"I was removed from the project I started 11 years ago for 'publishing offensive humor that borders on hate speech'", Rodriguez explained in an email to The Register. "However, now that Big Tech has secured the ASF board, it is a way to 'shut me up' about the monopolistic practices of Big Tech".

Rodriguez argues that "woke culture" is a creation of "Big Tech", and that it serves to protect the industry's economic monopoly "by monopolizing the ideology of the people".

In a subsequent message he noted he has received death threats demanding he apologize for his thoughts, and that those people always assume he's a Trump supporter. "I've never voted", he said. "I simply don't care".
