Nobody expects the Inquisition.

I think it's pretty obvious that US propaganda and censorship machine pushed into tech at full force in the last couple of years, with all the manufacturing consent at all levels. When they forced codes of conduct, inquisition was already kind of expected.

Could you elaborate? Looks like a UK television thing from the 70s. I'm not familiar with UK television culture references.

it’s a cult comedy TV program from the UK. They had a very special kind of humor, with a strong taste for the absurd.

In one of their sketch, spanish inquisitors would just pop out of nowhere and start wrecking havoc. Hence saying « nobody expects the spanish inquisition ».

You know something has reached a high level of absurdity whenever it makes you think of one of monty python’s program.

Have they written all of those jokes and references out of the Python documentation for sins against inclusivity yet? I dearly hope not, but I would not be surprised.
