That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Whoever said that should step out of their bubble and have a look around once in awhile

Exactly

A lot of the political entries are written with a bent towards being sympathetic with leftists.

The Kyle Rittenhouse article spends a lot of time on how Rittenhouse ‘appeared in conservative media’ or ‘appeared with conservative personalities’ which is a pretty weird thing to say, if you don’t already understand the political undertones of the Kenosha riot.

When you click the article for the Kenosha riot, it’s titled ‘civil unrest in Kenosha’ and focusses a lot on what a reader would perceive as positive aims of the riot. Protesting racism and police brutality, and doesn’t focus at all on the crime, danger, guns, vandalism, arson, etc

That article mentions BLM and when you read that article it makes sure to state that BLM protests were ‘largely peaceful’ and totally misses the amount of deaths and destruction that had happened at them.

The BLM article, if written like the Rittenhouse article, should focus a fair amount in the organizations ties to Marxism, the overthrowing of capitalism and colonialism, but doesn’t.

Wikipedia articles are written and edited and maintained to push a narrative.

If you agree with the narrative, you probably like that it does this. If you disagree, you probably don’t bother reading Wikipedia very much.

The issue with sources, is that a lot of ‘sources’ for stuff like this are already heavily curated to paint a picture the editors want to put on front street.

And anything that would combat that narrative is just outright banned from the site.

A lot of citations with politically charged topics are just opinions anyway. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer or sources on the war between Palestine and isreal, for example. But if Wikipedia editors want to push propaganda for either side over the other, all they have to do is only cite pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli sources.

This is easily exploitable by editors for whatever narrative they choose to push.

Wikipedia is not an exhaustive gathering of all relevant information, it is a carefully curated propaganda machine for the editors.

Does that say Russia has lost 300k people?

He’s obviously a terrible human being, I think you have to be to be a wildly successful CEO.

But those are the people who are best at running companies. I wouldn’t be good at it, because I’m not a piece of shit

That entirely depends on your expectations of a company CEO

I can’t think of a company that wouldn’t hire someone with this kind of stock performance over 30 years.

The issue is really that consumers just keep spending money on things that they hate.

If they didnt do that, Bobby would have been gone a long long time ago

It only knows about things people talk about online. I bet it knows how trump likes his bed made, but doesn’t even know what you can do in a library

They shouldn’t allow pets in the office anyway

Honestly, you don’t know shit. And I don’t even think you believe the stuff you’re saying.

The only other explanation is that you’re a child, which is probably also true.

Are you like a paid user to shill bullshit? Or are yo undoing it for free?

My barber, my small town famous bakery and at least one restaurant in town all went out of business.

There is nothing hyperbolic or untruthful about what I said.

I didn’t say that ALL barbers went out of business, or ALL bakeries either.

But mine did. I even posted a link to the stats in Canada for small businesses closing forever due to the governments restrictions.

Grow up

Are you telling me this isn’t the technology community??

Who looks at community names anyways, I’m just scrolling All like the chad I am, posting wherever I want, never reading the community rules.

The way God intended

Been on lemmy since June, never heard of this guy myself
