    “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.  
    Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.  
    In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation.  
    The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not victory,  
    but to keep the very structure of society intact.” 
    

    ― George Orwell

      This is hilarious

      Some clients make it worse by not wrapping text in code blocks. Please use > at the start of each line (including blank ones between paragraphs) to make a quote block. If you need a newline (such as in poems), end the line with 2 spaces and just one line break. If you really need to put non-code inside a code block (such as ASCII art or this), the best practice is to use the following syntax:

      ```text
      bla bla bla
      ```
      

      This specifies text as the syntax-highlighting language (which obviously means no highlighting) rather than whatever the default is (Java?).
