I don't understand why this is such a popular quote in this thread when it was made by a no-name IP editor.

1: It perfectly encapsulates the nature of Wikipedia to worship their "reliable sources" when it has been shown they will literally change the definition of reliable on a whim and the very skewed definition of "reliable" they have

2: A named wikipedo, who far from being some random but in fact was a veteran of Wikipedia for over a decade when that quote was made, follows up on a user pointing out the retardation of this logic by doubling down. "Yes we would have insisted the earth is flat if that was the Scientific Consensus™️ " (interesting how he adds scientific here, not noticing the article isn't about science at all and thus not really comparable)

3: It's a great meme

I don't get how a Twitter troon who made a viral tweet is any more notable than all the articles about Pajeet call centers and entrepreneurs that get deleted. Pajeet from Uttar Pradesh is probably reaching more people at his uncle Rajpreet's call center than Troon #278194010 is reaching on Xitter.

Hell, why doesn't Patrick Tomlinson have an article? He's had some viral tweets among leftists mad at Ben Shapiro and Elon plus the Ukrainian paint balloon thing plus he's been in the boomer media for his self-swatting campaign. But if you search him, you only get him mentioned (with a picture of his fat porcine body) in the article on some shitty con he attended.

I'm used to Wikipedia just lying by omission or using language "tricks" (eg: refusing to call castro a dictator, calling certain terrorist groups "militants"), but this is too much even for them.

Anyways, today I learned that an unfunny twitter troon, tyler gregory sternbach (@canteverdie) has an entire wikipedia page.

most of this guy's posts revolve around wanting to genocide White and non-troons btw

Your cities aren't filling up with Muzzies, you ignorant Europeans. That's a far-right, anti-Muslim conspiracy theory!



Also,


And here's the "See also":

I like how Wikipedia simultaneously has an article for the "Great replacement": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement

But also these:

Replacement migration - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

I guess it's one of those cases "When you say it, it's a conspiracy theory, when we say it, it's a fact and also good". The "list of proponents" in Replacement article is pretty funny; Great replacement is a fringe wingnut theory subscribed to by ...*checks notes*....multiple heads of government.

The Celebration Parallax.

The basic point is that the only difference is that if you have a problem with it it's bad. But if you agree then it is happening.

They will twist themselves into non-euclidean geometries to explain how both are true.

Along these lines, the Muslim grooming gang article (discussed upthread) survived attempted deletion:

Despite the title, the text refers to "the Muslim grooming gang panic" as a "moral panic".
The Muslim grooming gang panic is a moral panic alleging that Asian (specifically South Asian, Pakistani and Muslim) men are sexually abusing young White girls in the United Kingdom. Right-wing and far-right activists, as well as more mainstream individuals, helped popularise the terminology in the 2010s.

And indeed there's yet another move discussion to change the title to "Grooming Gang Moral Panic in UK" (or some such variation). The discussion has filled multiple pages:

One user suggested saying "conspiracy theories" instead of "panic". Because of course.

Even without checking the history of articles written by Indians, it's blatantly obvious who made it. Indians know westerners love this sort of progressive corporatespeak, and I know it gets thrown around a lot, but it really is cargocultism. If they manage to squeeze in enough buzzwords and manage to imitate the way a white middle aged woman in marketing speaks, Wikipedia admins will approve it.

"Rampreet Patel is the outstanding owner of a call center in Uttar Pradesh. His lifes mission is to empower the youth and inspire the Indians to even greater heights of scamming." That's how they write.

Edit: As an example, the alphabetically first Indian article:

On that point, I think leftists say it's a conspiracy theory in the context of it being planned by a group or certain individuals, they don't deny it is occurring or twist it by saying there are more Whites than ever now (ignoring the percentage demographic decline or even Whites numerically declining in certain nations)..
