In my job, I have to deal with bureaucrats who enforce the UK hostile environment, and I deal with fiddly customized WordPress sites hosted by an IT support agency that manages to make it much more difficult than it might already be to manage them.
It is very confusing for me that fighting with the software and support processes around a simple website could ever be as intensely frustrating as confronting the xenophobia and malice of UK government policy towards child refugees. But there you go.
Also, we Buddhists don't do "evil" so that isn't a workable explanation. Terry Gilliam (_Brazil_) was so very very perceptive.
I will now make noodles for dinner as an act of positive revenge. Vajrayāna is all about harnessing the energy in malice and transforming it into compassion and liberation. Some days it really helps to remember that.

“Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.
The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh
