Wikipedia is not meant to appear neutral, it's meant to "mirror the current consensus of mainstream scholarship [... aka] 'accepted knowledge'". Basically, if the accepted knowledge of an event is that it is not a genocide, Wikipedia has to reflect _that_. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. It doesn't have an stance. It just copies and transmit as accurately as possible, the current understanding from qualified sources. You can literally see it in the "balance" section of this article.

- DonHopkins 1y agoMy point stands since you can't deny what your own words prove: you're an insufferable asshole and a bully who punches down, who wants people to know that, so you should just put that on your user profile.
