NATOpedia is a great resource if you go in with an assumption of a pro-western bias, but a source of truth lmao.
A lot of western liberals really do treat it like the Holy Scripture. Any intelligence agencies would just have to pay a few admins and higher some people to sculpt the list of “reliable sources” that Wikipedia uses and they can basically fully control what hundreds of millions of neoliberals believe.
And they have.
You’re just salty that the russian and chinese propaganda edits are thrown out as soon as they pop up lol
See? You’ve just straight up given up the game, immediately disregarding any pretense that you ever cared about reliable sources or honestly, and just straight up admit that it’s only about politics alliegence. You will believe anything Wikipedia tells you, even if it openly comes from western propaganda outlets like the Victims of Communism Foundation or Radio Free Asia, because they agree with your politics.
Yessir, i do believe that the information on Wikipedia resembles the truth a lot more than anything that comes from lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.net. And you know why? Because Wikipedia gives me sources i can read up and decide myself if that’s bullshit or not, and those sources are not some bizarre substack ramblings or youtube videos with 150 views. And also because Wikipedia leaves politics aside as good as they can - if your perception of reality has anything to with what the world at large has agreed on, but there i lost ya, didn’t i?
It’s very easy to just spit out rote strawman that don’t resemble anything I actually said, rather than actually engage with what I said.
Well you’re free to submit sources that are credible and challenge that old ones aren’t.
I tried that once, a bunch of power users got together and tried to dox me
I’m not using the conservative pedia.

What a shock that someone who pretends to be an anarchist would go to bat to defend the reliablity of far right western propaganda outlets like Radio Free Asia, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Remember, if it doesn’t’ have the Western Neo-liberal seal of approval, it’s not credible and should be removed, that’s the anarchist way!

What in the fuck are you talking about

I’m talking about how unsurprising it is to me that a western pseudo-anarchist treats far right propaganda outlets as gospel truth, so long as they’re laundered though something like wikipedia.
