    All that tells us is that they’re right of wikipedia, so they could actually be centrist.

      Shit take.

      Imagine if your kneejerk reaction to a post about a far right Dutch nationalist group is “Wikipedia is librul!!!1” truly braindead shit.

      You should google around and find some things about them that you like or think are being mischaracterized and report back, that’d actually contribute something and we could all learn.

              Said, in 2006. Sangar has clear bias against wikipedia due to being laid off. In what world is America left wing? Unless you mean from a cultural point of view rather than an economic one, America has a right wing government.

                That really depends on what you considered developed. Poland swung hard right after the fall of the USSR, for example. They aren’t as developed as the UK or Germany or whatever, but I’d consider them developed.

                Well, the very first place I noticed it was about 10 years ago on the Gamer gate article. Called it a harassment campaign when it was really a married game dev fucking journalists for good coverage. We always knew gaming journalism was corrupt, but it was nice to have proof. Also sucks for the husband who got cheated on. Next day, about 14 separate sites all come with the headline “Gamers are dead”. Since then, either by confirmation bias or reality, I’ve been noticing a lot of bias in Wikipedia articles.

                    I mean when someone comes in with a bullhorn and says “I support gamergate” it’s kind of nice to know you can block them now without having to get in an argument or stressing either of you out. You just know you won’t get along.

        That’s untrue!

        The corona vaccines actually spread 5g, because the guvment wants to improve the internet so they can spy on you more!

        I know because a friend of a friend’s cousin’s grandma’s dad’s great grandchild apparently had better 4g connections after getting the vaccine!!!

      Can you either go back to exploding heads or get a hobby that doesnt involve being an edgelord on the internet in order to get strangers to interact with you?
