  • Neither really has to worry about keeping their homes.

  • He wasn't really a revolutionary.

  • The people should leave while they can.

  • Some of those fired generals might be taking their knowledge and experience with them, FWIW.

  • It could be if one is forced to conform.

  • It'd probably be like Vietnam, only harder.

  • gimme link to news item.

  • Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason

    When we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest every thing that is cruel.

    1. Examination of the Old Testament
  • As the PRC hasn't invaded Taiwan in over 75 years, I suppose it won't do so in the next 3 years.

  • IIRC, they expect people to first try to find the answers themselves—perhaps they could check out a few WP articles—no "Who's the Secretary of the Department of Interior" or similar questions;

    though my big (perhaps only) problem is that a question only stands for a while—maybe a few days or week or so—before it's archived. In some of the forums (non-WP) of about 20 years ago, one could answer questions asked months, maybe years, earlier that are still relevant.

    Still, I've gotten a few good answers to the few questions I posted on it.

  • Hmmm,

    Let's see:

    pw:Wikipedia

    Wikipedia is an imperialist propaganda outlet and disinformation website presenting itself as an encyclopedia launched in 2001 by bourgeois libertarians Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Wikipedia is maintained by a predominantly white male population, of which about 1% are responsible for 80% of edits. It has also been linked to corporate and governmental manipulation and imperialist agendas, including the U.S. State Department, World Bank,[1] FBI, CIA, and New York Police Department.[2][3]

    Wow. 😁🙂

    ​

    and while I'm at it:

    cp:Wikipedia

    Wikipedia, is an online wiki-based encyclopedia hosted and owned by the non-profit organization Wikimedia Foundation and financially supported by grants from left-leaning foundations plus an aggressive annual online fundraising drive.[1] Big Pharma pushes its agenda and profits by paying anonymous editors to smear its opponents there, while others are moronic internet trolls who include teenagers and the unemployed.[2] As such, it projects a liberal—and, in some cases, even socialist, Communist, and Nazi-sympathizing—worldview, which is totally at odds with conservative reality and rationality.[3]

    ​

    pw:Communist Party of Peru – Shining Path

    The party organized its own militia, the People's Guerrilla Army and claimed to have begun a protracted people's war against the bourgeois government of Peru since 1980, with the intention of establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat.[1] Throughout its period of highest activity, the party frequently engaged in terrorist tactics, and has committed brutal and violent attacks on peasants, including children.[2] The class composition of the party consisted in mostly petty-bourgeois intellectuals, and the growth of the party was closely linked with student movements in universities.[3]

    ​

    My problem isn’t the lack of alternatives, my problem is the anticommunist and pro-western bias in Wikipedia, the most used encyclopedia, in geopolitically charged topics.

    and I suppose the supplements are a way, however their effectiveness/ineffectiveness.

  • FWIW,

    wp:Jimmy Wales#Personal life

    Wales defended his comments in response to backlash from supporters of Gamergate, saying that "it isn't about what I believe. Gg is famous for harassment. Stop and think about why."[125]

    ...

    Wales labeled himself a libertarian, qualifying his remark by referring to the Libertarian Party as "lunatics", and citing "freedom, liberty, basically individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a manner that is not initiating force against them" as his guiding principles.[10] In a 2014 tweet, he expressed support for open borders.[104]

    ...

    Wales has lived in London since 2012,[146] and became a British citizen in 2019.[147]

  • Yep, that an occasionally Wiktionary, Wikidata, and even Rationalwiki.

  • wp:I, Mudd

    Mudd explains that he broke out of prison, stole a spaceship, crashed on this planet, and was taken in by the androids. He says they are accommodating, but refuse to let him go unless he provides them with other humans to serve and study. Mudd informs Kirk that he and his crew are to serve this purpose and can expect to spend the rest of their lives there.

    There was no hurricane in Florida. That's fake news. Global warming is a hoax made up by the Chinese to destroy American industry. Donald Trump said so and he never lies.
