If the US tries to kill Wikipedia I'm actually forming a militia
I'll join
the wilitia
So what if it was?
In other words, they're not publishing the propaganda of the new fascist US government?
aaaand just donated another $100 to Wikipedia.
Yes, truth and reality have a bias against fascism.
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.

They're scared of self-governing NGOs and free fonts of knowledge.
Organized bias is illegal? Of course in this context its simply the truth.
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?
- Nothing
- They just needed an excuse. You believing it isn't a concern.
forgot about Epstein yet?
Oh look, it's HUAC II!
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!
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

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.

"organized bias" lmfao. Did you you mean jewish lobbies getting people fired and Israeli state flooding google ads with war propaganda?
Is there something illegal about that? If Wikipedia has organizational bias, it’s covered by their first amendment right.
You have "The right to free speech (as long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it)".
The Clash
rights for thee not for me
A right that's getting rapidly eroded. Like, 1A is a right that's pretty much reduced to only existing on paper at this point and some politicians are probably looking for a way to erase it from the Constitution entirely.

Selfhosters, that is your cue if you haven't already made at least a local mirror
Can't it just relocate to say... Switzerland
Good thing I downloaded it then because it's probably going to be blocked in the US next.
How do you download Wikipedia?
Easiest way is via Kiwix.
Kiwix is probably the easiest way.
Scientific proof that we are in the dumbest timeline.
to be fair their thing is whining about shit for a day then moving on to different shit to whine about
Looks like it's back to Encarta for me, looking forward to Mind Maze
"Anything that says Hitler was bad, slavery was bad, and that Donald Trump isn't literally God is biased and must be changed!"
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
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!!!)
