So what if it was?
If the US tries to kill Wikipedia I’m actually forming a militia
Oh look, it’s HUAC II!
In other words, they’re not publishing the propaganda of the new fascist US government?
Yes, truth and reality have a bias against fascism.
aaaand just donated another $100 to Wikipedia.
Can’t it just relocate to say… Switzerland
“organized bias” lmfao. Did you you mean jewish lobbies getting people fired and Israeli state flooding google ads with war propaganda?
Organized bias is illegal? Of course in this context its simply the truth.
They’re scared of self-governing NGOs and free fonts of knowledge.
If you don’t have a [Kiwix Server] spun up, do it today!(https://kiwix.org/en/)
There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government’s business.
The party of “small government?” “Don’t tread on me?” What the hell happened, Republicans?
They only ever cared about white supremacy. All that other stuff was bullshit.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.
But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
You forgot the scare quotes around “oppressed.”
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is “of course we’re being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?”
Sorry, but that’s all permanent political -isms. To find -isms which are not centered around that proposition, you have to leave politics and look for various ephemeral ideas, which only become popular in response to disturbances.
Facism happened. Governement run by Captialists.
Yep back in the 1930s.
pretty much predicted by Jack London in The Iron Heel in 1908 but people have been saying it longer than that.
Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.
That’s only when it’s private companies they like.
That was always an obvious lie.
Selfhosters, that is your cue if you haven’t already made at least a local mirror
Looks like it’s back to Encarta for me, looking forward to Mind Maze
I’d say when open source seems organized against you, you might be the problem.
Reality has a non-frothing-at-the-mouth-oblivious-cult-member bias to it
But that really is a bias too. Everything has a bias relative to most existing points of view. That’s why the “free speech” thing was invented, because when your world is larger than one isolated village or even one isolated, even if moving, royal court, then you can’t make everyone think the same subjectively correct way. Free speech was a way for nations to survive modernization. There are more dimensions to the world than any single person understands enough to not be what you said. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is an idiot in something and would want to shut everyone up in that dimension.
Not only it’s a right first and foremost of those you disagree with, though, but it also can’t ever be based on good will. It can only be based on inability to break by force. Like any other institution.
I think many bad things in our reality are due to reliance on good will having been covertly put into many key places of the mechanisms.
