    Alright

    Show me the exact article that is propaganda, and why

    Obviously you’ll have to add citations on your end to show why exactly it would be propaganda and oh yeah,there is the issue

    Wikipedia isn’t bad because it’s propaganda, Wikipedia is bad because it’s not propaganda

      Why do that when they can lie through their teeth to just get it shut down altogether?

      Remember: “‘Meet me in the middle,’ says the unjust man. You take a step forward, he takes a step back. ‘Meet me in the middle,’ says the unjust man.”

      There is no arguing sense and logic with these people. Their goal is to make you suffer. Nothing else.

      Here’s Pulitzer prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald giving you a few examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKwAJG1O8fE

      Here’s Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger arguing why Wikipedia is the “Most Biased Encyclopedia in History": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR6dO8U8okk

      However, there is no reason to trust that the Trump administration has any good intentions behind their current attack on Wikipedia. My suspicion is that they want even more control and propaganda - just in their favor.

    Hopefully sites like Wikipedia and Internet Archive already have backup sites not located in the US.

    Some of the contentions in Martin’s letter echoed a report published in March by the Anti-Defamation League, a leading Jewish civil rights organisation, alleging “widespread anti-semitic and anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia”.

    What a fucking surprise 🙄 Facts are antisemitic now.

      Anti-Israel, anti-fascist, anti-apartheid, pro-Palestine != anti-semitic.

      The ADL can go fuck themselves for propagating otherwise.

    And of course, this is all about people pushing zionist land theft. If they arent busy beating students, buying politicians, and threatening universities, they are trying to literally rewrite history and limit everyones access to information they dont agree with. And they somehow think there will never be any blowback for any of this behavior. They really do literally think we are all sheep.
