1st amendment mf. Wikipedia can have an article convincing people 2+2=5 if they want and it is protected speech you fascist assholes.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If the US tries to kill Wikipedia I'm actually forming a militia

So what if it was?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 hours ago

In other words, they're not publishing the propaganda of the new fascist US government?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 hours ago

aaaand just donated another $100 to Wikipedia.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 hours ago

Yes, truth and reality have a bias against fascism.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Oh look, it's HUAC II!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Organized bias is illegal? Of course in this context its simply the truth.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

They're scared of self-governing NGOs and free fonts of knowledge.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 82 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

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?"

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Facism happened. Governement run by Captialists.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

pretty much predicted by Jack London in The Iron Heel in 1908 but people have been saying it longer than that.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

That’s only when it’s private companies they like.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

That was always an obvious lie.

If you don’t have a [Kiwix Server] spun up, do it today!(https://kiwix.org/en/)

This is a very neat thing, thanks for sharing!

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

"organized bias" lmfao. Did you you mean jewish lobbies getting people fired and Israeli state flooding google ads with war propaganda?

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 4 points 5 hours ago

Selfhosters, that is your cue if you haven't already made at least a local mirror

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Can't it just relocate to say... Switzerland

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Looks like it's back to Encarta for me, looking forward to Mind Maze

[–] elucubra@piefed.social 102 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

What the hell does the house oversight comitee have to do with a private endeavor?

Even if there was such bias, doesn't the 1st amendment cover it, as it does Fox, for example?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

forgot about Epstein yet?

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 30 points 8 hours ago
  1. Nothing
  2. They just needed an excuse. You believing it isn't a concern.
[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 44 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'd say when open source seems organized against you, you might be the problem.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Reality has a non-frothing-at-the-mouth-oblivious-cult-member bias to it

Fuck you fuck you fuck you. Investigate Truth Social, Twitter, the Smithsonian, the FBI, the DOJ, the President, Congress, the DoD, the DoE, the NSA, and the Supreme Court, if you are worried about bias.

might as well say hunt down and take out

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 60 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Is there something illegal about that? If Wikipedia has organizational bias, it’s covered by their first amendment right.

rights for thee not for me

[–] Weirdmusic@lemmy.world 34 points 11 hours ago

You have "The right to free speech (as long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it)".

Scientific proof that we are in the dumbest timeline.

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 40 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Good thing I downloaded it then because it's probably going to be blocked in the US next.

"Anything that says Hitler was bad, slavery was bad, and that Donald Trump isn't literally God is biased and must be changed!"

[–] iThinkDifferentThanU@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

changed=needs to be 187'd I hope that ice or a gop, or christian bible thumper come at me, I have no problems planting evidence like a cop would saying it was self defense

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 hours ago

On July 4, 2026, nothing happened on Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, USA.

(And if something happened, its because they were viOlEnT riOToRs and we had to send in the tanks to restore LaW aNd oRdEr!!!)
