"Socialists don't care about the poor, they just hate the rich" The people who whine like that are not Socialists, they are radlibs in denial. Might I ask you: Why are you against Socialism? And what exactly are you against? Well, we need to define what we're talking about and my definition here is...

The hate towards OceanGate on social media, which includes Wikipedia, supports the maxim, "Socialists don't care about the poor, they just hate the rich" (BTW, this is a misquote of a paragraph Orwell wrote in which he criticizes certain types of socialists who are drawn to the movement because they...

The doomsday has just begun. https://www.timesofisrael.com/wikipedia-bans-editors-but-sidesteps-broader-action-in-holocaust-distortion-row/ The Holocaust scholars just told Wikipedia that it HAS TO listen to them in writing its articles on that topic: For Klein, the problem is not the committee its...

That quote from ABD was good though, that he found DGG and most of the other attendees at the Wikiconf...

This is the thing that I've never understood about Volunteer Marek... whom I've repeatedly read claiming that both he and his family were threatened, but who has never once followed that claim with "so I filed a police report," at least in the repeated claims I've seen. One is invoking alleged thre...
