Federal Bureaucrats Launch Resistance Website
David Catron


It was hardly necessary to consult the Delphic Oracle to learn that the Department of Government Efficiency was destined to be extremely unpopular with federal bureaucrats. Nor was it difficult to predict that their collective response would be clueless and hopelessly inept. Nonetheless, even the most cynical observer of bureaucratic bumbling will be taken aback by an amateurish website called “We the Builders.” It was created to provide a space for anonymous government apparatchiks to whine about the depredations of DOGE, which the main page describes thus: “They are destroyers.”

    The notion that anyone in the executive branch operates “independently” from the President is ridiculous.

If you deliberately set out to create a parody — a website that looks and reads like something built by a bureaucrat — you would be hard put to do any better than “We the Builders.” The banner at the top of the main page is a group photo of about a dozen deeply earnest and inevitably diverse federal “workers” posing with their right hands raised as if reciting the loyalty oath taken by all federal employees. Some might question how seriously these people take that oath, however, after noticing that their logo is obviously modeled after the Soviet hammer and sickle. These geniuses attempted to disguise that fact by replacing the hammer with a wrench and the sickle with a spoon.

Ironic, since the vast majority of federal workers do not build anything, and in fact exist for the sole purpose of preventing people from building things.

Builders of what, exactly?

Do the building without my money and stop making my life more expensive.

I wonder who paid for the website?  :pondering:

If government funds were used to pay for it, that could be a crime.

The heraldry is appropriate. A spoon to eat out our sustenance, and a monkey wrench to throw into the works of industry. Perfect.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, I certainly hope they built it on their own time, their own dime, and not on equipment we are paying for. :whistle:
