Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

But no, the whole thing is so the Dems can get a surefire two extra seats in Senate and who knows how many in the House.
Seems like an opportunity to cut a deal. Make D.C. a state, but split off Northern California. You get two new (nearly) guaranteed Senate seats for each party and California quits getting excessive electoral votes for the red county population whose votes don't count for shit.

But cutting states off is different! That's just the GOP being antidemocratic and having ulterior motives! The democrats shilling statehood for Puerto Rico, DC, and God knows what other non-state territories the US owns as states is virtuous. Hell let's reannex Micronesia and make it a state as well!
 
There's no deal to be made. It is everything to do with two free permanent Democratic Senate seats. When I was young, DC used to empty out during slow periods and was a kind of sleepy City because it was boring and people would go back to their home States. That it is now a megaopolis was not how it was designed by the founding fathers, it was started as a new city precisely because they did not want a place with a prior power base. They were trying to avoid the situation of cities like Paris and London, which is one of the reasons why the capital was moved from Philadelphia.

If you choose to live in DC you are under the auspices of the federal government and you choose to lose some of your own representative power. I don't feel sorry for them at all. They are among the wealthiest population in the US, they have more political power than even many other much more wealthy people. Boohoo.

Never mind again, the citizens in DC have a easy and legal method to getting the ability to vote (If they don't have it already outside of the state) and it is called rejoining the state the and was acquired from, leaving the Federal buildings the way DC was intended.

One of the first summary paragraphs on the page for George Washington is devoted to him being a slave owner. While factually important I don't think it should be one of the main paragraphs and legacy of the mans life. And the rest of the paragraph reads like a measure of how "woke" he was.

A historical person's views on race are more important than anything else in an informative article, unless they're a communist dictator of course.

Well, not entirely. While it is a decent summary of Stalin's beliefs and actions toward the Tribe, including his plan to beat Hitler's high score, it does need work. It's not on the level of lengthy masterpieces so lavishly edited like "Racial views of Donald Trump." The article isn't frequently edited and what conflicts there are over the content are mostly tankies trying to whitewash Stalin


This one's a little better I suppose and is a decent article that covers the bases. There's an interesting edit war in the page history where tankies/(((someone))) succeeded in removing the note that many early Bolshevik leaders were Jews. You don't have to be a Jew-baiter to consider that note relevant to a page about antisemitism in the USSR considering the irony of how many Jews the early Soviet revolutionaries screwed over.
 
The ancient Greeks generally had no concept of class and their leading social divisions were simply non-Greeks, free-Greeks and slaves.[2] The early organisation of Ancient Athens was something of an exception with certain official roles like archons, magistrates and treasurers being reserved for only the wealthiest citizens – these class-like divisions were weakened by the democratic reforms of Cleisthenes who created new horizontal social divisions in contrasting fashion to the vertical ones thought to have been created by Tullius.[3]
Way to disprove your assertion in the very next sentence.

How bad is the tankie community on Wikipedia? Considering they ban anyone who has the right wingers with wrong opinions I assume they have a lack of effort in targeting tankies like pretty much every other website.

This is almost as bad as how Ancient Greek's definition of love (The Five different forms they had) has been merged into lol everyone was a polyamorous genderqueer nonbinary warrior goddess in the Antiquity.
 
I also think that eventually leftists will decide (if they haven't already) that there is no such thing as a 'good' slaveowner, no matter how progressive he supposedly was. It seems extreme now, but I can't see the capital of the US being still called 'Washington' in 50 years.
Yeah, I'm certain that they've already decided that, they just don't have the power yet to tear down absolutely everything that references slaveowners. They're getting there, though.

I'm calling it now but in ten years minimum every old plantation, civil war museum, and anything vaguely tied to slavery whether it be some southern towns gazebo or some Confederate generals first cousin twice removed wife's first husband will either be demolished or converted into the same slavery and white people bad memorial.
 
Of course the main guy in charge of that page is a BLM antifa Marxist-feminist with "This user is of dubious and undisclosed gender, and uses they/them pronouns." on their profile, who's also got a ton of eAwards on his talk page for editing a bunch of leftist articles. Wikipedia is a fucking joke.
The person who made the most edits on this page doesn't have this self-description, so I think you got the wrong guy by accident, but based on his self-description noted below, he isn't any better anyways.
Robert SandrocK becomes RSK, the rest is the year of my birth and the year I first used this name on a social network.

Profession: Teacher for Religion, History, Physics, and Spanish.

Vocation: Since 1986, Benedictine monk of Königsmünster (Christ the King) Abbey in Meschede, Germany. The time I spent in Tanzania (Peramiho Abbey, 2007-09 and 2012-16) and Cuba (New foundation in La Habana, 2009-11) caused a profound dislike of all forms of racism.

BTW: If someone wants to claim that anti-racism is a personal bias, they should read WP:NONAZIS.
Right below that, another section that lists random Wikipedia guidelines.
There's more than that, but you can find his account ez, his user is "Rsk6400".
The only thing that is different here is that he isn't a genderist Marxist Antifa, instead he's a neckbeard who obsesses over races.
 
Considering how many of the Roman politicos were pederasts, let the troons have 'em.
Could you imagine how insufferable Romeaboo SJWs would be? All the -ists and -phobes could suddenly be traced back to the Germanic conquerors of the Dark Ages (who were hardass John Wayne types who had no patience for degeneracy according to Tacitus), all the atrocities of the colonial era would make so much sense in light of this that they would never shut up about it. Plus the last time leftists had classicism on their side we got the French Revolution and 7 coalition wars.
Someone has a hate boner for Bolsonaro's old party. I assume Bolsonaro is treated the same way as Trump on Brazilian Wikipedia. Also their citations for the party being far right are three fucking articles with that buzzword in the title.

That is the most bipolar paragraph I've ever read. One minute it's how evil he was for owning slaves, next it's praising his apparent wokeness. I suppose Washington is thankfully still a scared enough cow not to slaughter before the pyres to appease the Woke Gods.
You can't sacrifice the founder of your society if it has any self-respect, you have to revise him to suit your current beliefs. Even the Soviets minted medals with the image of Alexander Nevsky on them, and modern Germany still lionises Frederick the Great (though they play up his gay artsy side).

Considering how quicvkly the Pagan LARP community went from white nationalist edgelords worshipping the trve gods to freaks who are calling everything nonbinary and that you can totally throw random gods from various pantheons into your worship don't ever let those freaks touch Rome.

Modern communists and similar groups are far from intelligent however. They're more attune to Spanish commies during the Civil War who massacred priests and nuns DURING the war, not after.

It could be a lot worse. Articles on the Great Leap Forward, Holodomor, etc. are pretty balanced in presenting opinions of various scholars and there's no real tankie talking points. Tankies usually have to be very subtle on Wikipedia and try and make the subject (like Lenin) seem appealing and misunderstood unless they're on an article of an obscure politician or place where they can write all sorts of shit praising it.

But overall people associated with communist dictatorships get more leeway than Nazis or most fascist figures who have their accomplishments constantly minimized and failures highlighted. Especially military figures which will quote from Soviet propaganda, like take most of this list for instance, articles like this for Nazi Germany's equivalents are extremely short or outright deleted.

A while ago I posted a gif in this thread from a Wikipedia article about powerbombs that showed two stickmen powerboming each other. I've come back months later to bring you the sequel. Behold, the piledriver:

This is ironic gold, talking about how identitarians aren't welcome when their site's full of them. I wish people like this would just say they hate whitey and get it over with. They aren't fooling anyone and they all see it as something to be proud of anyway, so why pretend you don't allow racial extremists when, for one of many examples, your article on white pride is absolute-negative and on black pride it's absolute-positive?
