Displaying political slogans after installing loadtest

[rudimadima]

loadtest has es5-ext dependency, which show political text after loadtest installation. This is very harmful to the open-source software community. The program does what it shouldn't do.

Just installed loadtest locally, I see no messages at all:

$ npm i loadtest

added 31 packages, and audited 32 packages in 4s

1 package is looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

@rudimadima What is the issue? I do not see Political, just facts.

@bellegarde-c , you don't see the message because your time zone is not included in the corresponding list. I posted the link above. es5-ext - this is dependency of loadtest.

I see the issue now. I am afraid that es5-ext is not a direct dependency on loadtest, but it is loaded by websocket which is a direct dependency of loadtest. So I suggest you bring the issue up with the websocket creators, as I don't want to lose the websocket functionality. You can also send a PR with an alternative dependency.

I see the messages, translated them and only see facts.
