a nice article that shits on wikipedia, it is a bit old but the criticisms levied against Natopedia still apply today, and I’m pleased to see the author has excellent takes on the palestinian genocide and consistently shits on the west any chance she gets. Thought some of you would like more ammo against the insufferable nerd encyclopedia website
Former Wikimedia CEO Katherine Maher is
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maher worked for UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank and Access Now before joining the Wikimedia Foundation. She subsequently joined the Atlantic Council and the US Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
Guess who made her their CEO last week? NPR names tech executive Katherine Maher to lead in turbulent era
reminder of the tantrum NPR had when Musk did a rare cool thing and labelled them state sponsored on twitter.
A blog post showing Jimmy Wales, wikipedia’s founder and Ayn rand fanatic (what a surprise!), is likely a spook, or, very close to them.
Mr.Wales is also chummy with neocons and assorted idiots.
Mr.Wales is also, unsurprisingly, a massive piece of shit who thinks Israel is wholly justified in bombing gaza.

Really makes you wonder what Conservapedia was about if this is the guy running the mainstream info outlet.
Also, gotta wonder how deep the rabbit hole behind Encyclopedia Brittanica goes. I mean,
right there up front. But still…
Anything that says there is a psyop is actually a Russian psyop.
more proof of wikipedia’s bias towards western sources advocating, surprise (!), regime change in nations opposing western hegemony
Heres another insane story about wikipedia involving a certain editor called Philip Cross, who consistently defaced anti war activists wikipedia pages over several years.

And here is the surreal admin talk about the same user, and the repeated and incomprehensible stone walling by old Wikipedia admins.

this is the type of thing that turns you bananas, we should all expose the fuckery going on in wikipedia, that garbage website has attained a ridiculous position of influence, yet its articles are created largely based on completely arbitrary edits under the infamous guise of “OBJECTIVITY” and “NEUTRAL VIEWPOINTS” (lol), using jargon deliberately designed to be incomprehensible to the average person, politically important articles are locked out by a tiny clique of entrenched and old, privileged, and often anglo saxon editors. I’m really worried about this shit because this is often how baby leftists start to collect knowledge: they go on wikipedia, soak up the bullshit copy pasted by moronic westerners, and end up believing that communism=nazism.
Now keep in mind this is just one story involving wikipedia and suspicious editors with impossibly long and regular edits, this type of stealthy consent manufacturing is likely much, much more widespread, anf greatly facilitef by the opaque and needlessly complicated wikipedia bureaucracy (its almost like that childish system of entrenched knowledge and appeal to authority was designed on purpose
)
