Race and IQ stuff.
- hnpolicestate 1y agoCurrent geopolitical stuff too. Intelligence agencies use Wikipedia articles as propaganda tools. The Ukraine War articles are factually incorrect. To be expected with so much at stake.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoYeah I try to avoid pages on Ukraine and Israel, although admittely they don't shun away from the factual things that Israel did. I bet there's a lot of well-paid organizations keeping a sharp eye on a lot of more sensitive pages. And of course famous people's PR people.
- creatonez 1y agoYou're mad Wikipedia doesn't parrot thoroughly debunked eugenics arguments?
- ljsprague 1y agoThe fact that you jumped to "eugenics" proves my point.
- creatonez 1y agoThe fact that you can't correctly identify debunked claims about a connection between race and IQ as inherently eugenicist talking points and instead quickly resorted to obfuscation proves my point.
- joenot443 1y agoThis is a pretty severe leap of logic; respectfully it seems to me like both of you are sort of talking past each other here. Why don’t you just say what you mean? Not everything is about proving points or “winning”, it’s okay to just have honest discussion.
- creatonez 1y agoWhat I'm saying: Because Wikipedia is a premier world-class source in debunking scientific racism, presents a constellation of facts that are rather damaging to frauds like Charles Murray, and has likely prevented the radicalization of tens of thousands of people... nearly every single critic of Wikipedia on this particular topic is a scientific racist. Which is a set of positions indistinguishable from eugenics. Pretty much without exception.
