 It's sad, but really everything gets corrupted over time. 
 It doesnt need to be. It just needs more gatekeeping, one needs to be more toxic, and physically remove troublemakers such as socialists and democrats (by which i dont mean any party as americans tend to understand it, but anyone who believes in voting) 
 Dude, even the catholic church got corrupted and put a satanist as pope. If the church can't guard itself, how can programmers? Are we any better? 
 Im not really deeply steeped in catholic history so thats going to be a hard one to adress for me. But i do know we are set up in such a way that makes it easy, we can just fork things if need be. 
 That's true.
