musk wants defund Wikipedia which i find idiotic

I wasn't sure if it was true as I know elon is fucking brain dead from neurolink but I didn't think he was that brain dead but I found the tweet. I'll include it at the end

Firstly the government doesn't even fund Wikipedia. It's rich donors who fund most of it with your average people also donating some money.

Secondly, the right has had more instances of extremism than the left, which is why it is mention more.

There is an issue of bias surronding Wikipedia, however better controls in who can edit it would be a lot better instead of just defunding it.

Like a lot of pages surronding judaism and israel have been edited and a lot of the edits break the rules of Wikipedia surronding reputable unbiased sources too. And you have the changes of jews people like being labeled as being "of jewish descent" and jews people don't like labeled as "jewish". Like people are legitimately erasing the jewishness of jews they like because apparently being jewish is bad.

And this isn't even a problem solely with jewish and Israel pages. If you search my blog you can find the post, I would search myself but I've had a long day and can't super be bothered, but a while ago I reblogged a post exposing similar edits being made to native amercian pages and aborigine pages too. There was even proof of a crossover where an editor editing jewish pages in an antijewish way was also editing indigenous amercian pages in an anti indigenous way.

I remember when the purim page was edited to add that it was a Palestinian holiday. Like ah yes, Palestinians celebrate a holiday where jews survived a genocide attempt where we were attacked for being jewish 🙄.

The data of both right wing and leftist extremism is probably not accurate to how many instances there actually are of both, and definitely leftist antisemitism extremism is left put, but it's honestly not enough to make a huge change in the data as it's in the thousands. Like the gap would likely close a bit but not by much relative to the data amount.

Like Wikipedia very much has a bigotry problem, but that's very much not what elons issue is. He's just mad because it paints the ideology he believes in as this super violent ideology, which is correct. Smelon musky does believe in violent ideology.

Fuck elon musk

I still think about the 'man of a thousand voices' video I watched about Paul's vocal talents, and how the creator thought the 'pthtchkp' noise from Admiral Halsey was just random weirdness on Paul's part.

It's such a perfect impression of a phonecall connecting noise from the analogue era.

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.

You know what.

If you're a non-Jew, and Elon Musk's obvious NAZI salute was a wakeup call to you, great. I'm glad it finally happened.

Now I hope you will start to listen to the Jews around you. Maybe this will be the wakeup call that helps you realize that antisemitism has in fact been on the rise for the past 2 years. Maybe you'll start to see the antisemitism among the left that has become so loud and frightening over the past 2 years.

If somebody does or says something objectionable, go ahead and boycott them.

If an individual has not done anything you can point to as particularly objectionable, but you want to boycott them because they're of a particular nationality, then you're not disagreeing with a particular action, opinion, or viewpoint. You're objecting to a particular kind of person.

For example, I object to the CCP. I believe they are carrying out genocides against Tibetans and Uighurs. I understand, however, that my objection is with the CCP and not Chinese people. So, I boycott particular corporations and individuals who I see as contributing to the oppression of these people (Huawei, for example). I do not object to Chinese nationals being in films, being hired at my university, and I regularly consume art and media created by Chinese nationals.

If I objected to my university hiring a Chinese professor, I would rightly be called Sinophobic. I would be doing something racist. This wouldn't be a boycott, it would be bigoted and discriminatory behavior.

You should object to certain actions and attitudes, not to certain kinds of people.

also, at the risk of fanning more flames, as of yesterday, i will say this:

all those of you who didn’t vote for kamala solely on the basis that she didn’t bomb the israeli embassy (or whatever the fuck you think the vice-president of NOT ISRAEL was supposed to do), know this: from this point forward, every palestinian death is on your hands. every terrified gender non-conforming individual who can’t live their lives, every person murdered by white supremacists, every islamophobic attack, every homeless death, every denied insurance claim: this is all on your shoulders. you had the choice to help us go in the other direction, but putting a murderous plutocratic rapist dictator in charge was more important to you.
