They're really against anything nice that can be achieved through cooperation, aren't they?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Or education. They absolutely hate education.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

100% this. They don’t want educated people. And the news/media that does exist they want to control.

George Carlin does a great bit on this. To the point that your second sentence was almost a direct quote. I thought you were about to make references.

Republicans would be upset about Wikipedia being censored if they knew how to read.

Not bias, but I was surprised to find out how Wikipedia is censoring information surrounding ChrisChan.

All of the articles mentioning him in English just say he's an internet personality, and his English Wikipedia page has been removed.

That kind of censorship doesn't sit will with me. What else are they keeping from us?

This is to stop a cyberbullying campaign against a disabled person

That kind of censorship doesn't sit will with me. What else are they keeping from us?

probably other things to harrass individuals with?

[–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su -3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, no.

It's still censorship even if the person in question wants it to be censored.

People shouldn't get to dictate whether or not wikipedia articles are made of them.

If I made a wikipedia page showing your social security and banking information would your stance hold true?

[–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wikipedia already doesn't allow that, so your question is pointless.

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

for the same reason they don't give resources to blatant harassment campaigns.

both are against the rules and both are censorship for nearly identical reasons

[–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're moving goalposts, but ok.

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

My point was that censorship is valid when it is to prevent harming individuals/fraud/bullying

my goalpost did not move at all.

you are being a hypocrite by saying it was okay not to have that on wikipedia because it was already banned

you should oppose that ban on the basis of censorship, no?

[–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su -1 points 6 days ago

Gonna block you now.

Some people just love to argue no matter what, lol.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

These people know the CWCwiki exists, right? I mean I was obsessed with CWC a little over 10 years ago, too, but I have long since lost interest in the whole matter.

[–] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su -2 points 6 days ago

That doesn't make it ok.
