Trying to sow confusion amongst sources of truth. It fails again and again.

    The ‘problem’ where Wikipedia doesn’t allow conservatives to edit in propaganda and disinformation as much as they’d like.

      Yeah, this exactly. It’s really hard to find actually credible sources for many of the rightwing “facts” they want to publish.

        What do you mean? There are literally thousands of memes on Facebook, that back up every single claim. How is that not enough for you people? /s

          You joke but their goal is to replace every institution with a ministry of truth. They’ve done it with the media, they’re doing it with government institutions that used to be independent and evidence based, and they won’t stop until they control all information.

      They have more influence on Wikipedia than people realize. Take note of how often wiki pages for famous people will say they are Jewish in the first two sentences.

      Now trace the origin of these edits. Often it came from a username such as “OdinWolf88”. Now look at their edit history. These accounts do nothing but add “he/she is Jewish” to the first two sentences of peoples Wikipedia pages.

      That and they troll the pages of right wing mass murders and terrorist attacks.
