You just gotta love how Richard Dawkins comes before Hitler, Stalin, and Mao…
“Yeah the guy brings facts to the table, can’t have that, that’s the worst, that’s like worse than Hitler, man!”
I thought Dawkins was a weird one put up there. He’s a genius. Not even political.
fuck Dawkins too
Because? You’re one of those guys who use the pinnacle of science in their hands to tell people about their dislike of actual scientists?
fucker’s been busy spreading transphobia
… How? Seriously, <citation required>
Richard Dawkins disagrees with their little coloring book.
Hitler was just really passionate about giving free healthcare to Jews, LGBT, intellectuals, Romani, slightly swarthy people, etc etc.
Free hair cuts, de-licing and showers too.
And they all got a unique free tatoo!
If i didn’t know any better I’d say that was sarcasm :o
Clearly I’m misinformed on Hitler tho and they’re definitelyNOT labeling him with their no-no word in order to pretend they aren’t fuckin Nazis themselves.

Was not expecting the abrupt pivot into barely relevant bible study.
In order to understand it you have to understand its creator: Andrew Schlafly: he’s an electrical engineer and lawyer and his mother is Phyllis Schlafly, a lawyer famous for her militant opposition to feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment, a proposed amendment to the constitution that reads:
Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Phyllis wasn’t just some opponent of that amendment, no she was probably the primary reason it failed.
In short: there’s no reason why that website should be in any way sane just as there’s no reason its founder should be in any way sane. He really likes to critique physics theories that he doesn’t understand by citing philosophy and theology.
He tried to edit Wikipedia to insert his ideology. Wikipedia editors delivered the “science not nonsense” and “WP:NPOV” smackdown. Conservapedia is the result, written by and for ultra right wing home school students.
Several parables in the Bible foreshadow the insight of quantum entanglement about paired photons having opposite spin
Interesting, I wonder what their evidence is for that-
by contrasting two men in their relationship with God. The Prodigal Son contrasts two brothers, two churchgoers are contrasted in Luke 18:9–14 , and two brothers are further contrasted in Luke 21:28-31
Just… 2 people being compared?
LOL
It’s an internet encyclopedia built for and by conservatives. Literally everything on there abruptly pivots to barely relevant Bible study.
I’m used to UK conservatives. They don’t like poor people, I think religion is really a minor issue for most of them though (after all it does generally preach kindness to the poor).
Thisis why you never trust wikipedia
But it’s Conservapedia. And it says it’s “Trustworthy” under the logo.
You know it’s bad when they need to try to convince you they’re legit.
It’s from conservapedia!
still a wiki
Might as well say “never trust a website”
Can you really ever trust one? All of them have an agenda to push, no exceptions. If that agenda aligns with your’s, you’ve found an echo chamber for reinforcement. If not, perhaps you can learn of alternative viewpoints to an identical issue and maybe agree with some but not all of them. Things like wikis are supposed to be open to all opinions on a subject, but like everything good, someone will take it to corrupt.
“Never trust other people,” they say. I’m not sure I shpypd believe them, though.
You’re describing literally every discourse community and mode of communication. What you said applies to every book, newspaper, journal, website, forum, wiki, etc. There always some bias in some way. It’s how it works. Humans will be humans. It’s up to the individual to process information and discern what to think
Yep
No exceptions you say? Ah yes, the wiki agendas. I sure love the propaganda of the stardew valley wiki. Super echo chambery and clearly deep state politics
Glad to help heh
So, don’t trust the entire internet, then?
Pretty much. Take it all with a grain of salt
You’re not using that phrase correctly. “Take it with a grain of salt” means not to commit to the knowledge until it’s verified else where or at least applying basic skepticism to it.
Wikipedia is a fairly safe place to start with research, but I would never really believe it for current event policies or adjacent topics.
Conservipedia is an engineered echo chamber that exists because Wikipedia kicked their founders out for vandalism. It only gives credibility to Wikipedia.
Exactly, Wikipedia has all sorts of processes and policies around making articles high quality. That includes trying to remove as much ideologically driven material as possible. This would be deleted in seconds (maybe literally).
Every single republican is also a liberal. It’s the dominant ideology of capitalism and its state.
The difference is that the liberalism of republicans is more “classic” in that it’s heavily mixed with racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, etc.
There’s only two kinda of liberalism; economic, and social.
Why do we separate the two? Who does that serve?
Historically it used to be used like: “I’m socially liberal but a fiscal conservative”
The reality is that translated to: “I want to fund everything I want but never give money or resources to people that aren’t like me”… good old institutional racism and bigotry with a nice facade
Conservativism as an ideological definition is a branch of liberalism.
Free market Capitalists dislike the population being able to make/recognize the distinction. Because there’s a certain kind of “Liberal” who are only Liberals when Liberalism economically benefits them, but become Conservatives (and even radically right wing Conservatives) when Socially Democratic policies, or talk of taxing wealth becomes popular.
Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and others have all worn the mask of a “Liberalism” that refuses to to make this distinction (between social and economic liberalism).
A Liberal who is an economic liberal but doesn’t seek progressive improvements to society, isn’t a liberal at all. They’re a conservative in waiting for the moment things progress too far.
Thus leftists are served by keeping this distinction in mind. Learn it. Recognize who will kick up a fuss and change teams, and remember that they have a limited use, and will eventually go no further (or worse, become a major hindrance). You need an exit strategy for those people.
Otherwise progress gets maligned in the name of maintaining the ‘status quo’.
When you say liberal, do you mean social liberalism or classical liberalism?
Modern socialism is made up of people that get hard over the thought of leading a worker’s revolution while being completely incapable of having a conversation with anyone in the working class.
Like what’s the goal in redefining terminology to be different from common usage? It’s not enticing anyone in the working class to join your movement, that’s for sure. Most people don’t even understand what the hell the average socialist is even talking about at this point.
I agree we can get up our own asses with the terminology, but in this case just skimming the Wikipedia page will reveal that the concept of liberalism encompasses almost all dominant political parties’ philosophies.
Infamous liberal
Adolf Hitler
So…half the conservative base agrees with a librul?
No no no. This is Adolf Hitler [bad, because National Socialism Volkswagon Bailout Lost The War].
You’re thinking of Adolf Hitler [good, because Based Chad Hates Immigrants Retvrn To Tradition].
Two totally different guys.
Personally i prefer the hitler that killed hitler.
Yes, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.
Their opinions on reality are not consistent. They will warp their minds into whatever twisted shape is required if they get to hurt the “other” (whoever that happens to be this cycle)
When it comes to their opinion of Hitler, their mind is shaped like an unbalanced dumbbell. He’s a hero and a villain at the same time, but he’s really only going to stay a villain to them for as long as it is necessary.
Their opinions on reality are not consistent.
I’m constantly reminded of that 90s (I think) country song. “You’ve Got to Stand for Something or You’ll Fall for Anything.”
Many of them just keep falling for the next lie, even while the previous lies are being corrected. They never stop for a minute and think the place they are getting their info from is bad.
I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere in the terms of use for that wiki that they clarify that they are not liable for any trust users put in the articles and the tagline “trustworthy encyclopedia” cannot be enforced
If you call yourself a “conservative” you’re either a fascist or a liberal that just isn’t quite there yet.
Why do they list Hitler as their enemy, when their own selected Führer obviously idols him?
Hussein. 😪
They just love saying Obama’s middle name like it’s some kind of gotcha. What they don’t seem to get is it doesn’t mean anything unless you’re a racist piece of shit.
Barack Obama is clearly the cousin of Saddam Hussein, the 20th hijacker on 9/11.
Don’t forget: Satan is a Leftist
Have they listened to Bill Maher lately? I don’t think he’s liberal anymore.
I think he is, unfortunately. he’s just mask-off about it.
Conservapedia, like the incel wiki, are windows into parallel universes and both are proof, that ours isn’t the worst timeline after all.
It almost looks like incredibly well done satire
Poe’s law.
Damm, getting a sneak peak on what the enshitification o Wikipedia will be like.
Would wikipedia even meet the requirements for that?
“everyone I don’t like is a liberal”
I wonder why they put Hitler on the list then.
He was a filthy painter, that’s why. Now, if he had painted with a gun…
Liberal arts?
#COMMUNIST
They love pretending loke Hitler, the universal symbol for evil, was a socialist. They fuckin’ love fascism and everything he did but they have to pretend like what they’re doing is different.
They also have no idea what “liberal” means, but that’s the case with most words exceeding six letters.
Similar to socialists being in denial over how antisemitism can get them to go along with fascists. People on the fringes of politics tend not to be able to see themselves for what they are. Communists and Fascists are both authoritarian just with a slightly different grift. But when the fascists play up the greedy capitalist jew angle, the socialists jump on board with fascism along it with the rest of the useful idiots.
Are we playing the “socialism and communism are different things” game today? Because that’snnever fun.
Authoritarians aren’t communists. They’re just appropriating the term.
Are we playing the anarchists and communists are the same thing game today? Communists absolutely can be authoritarian, anarchists can’t anarcho-communists aren’t but not all communists are
true Scotsmananarcho-communists
Hahah - I thought this was a joke, I can’t believe it’s a real thing. It reads like an angry fundie 14yo wrote it.
Largely written by and for right wing angry fundie home schoolers. You’re not wrong.
