The latter - the quoted part. Probably a signal that we have angered the "gods" by letting Trump live.

Look at the company name itself, "Crowdstrike". Strike at a crowd? Very memetic.

As I said, if Crowdstrike had not tried to explain the supposed update fault, which explanation was hokey as hell, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

I believe the Crowdstrike outage was deliberate, was manufactured, was not an error, and more is to come.
