Apparently things like truth and reality are left wing now. Good luck with that, psychotic ultra right wingers.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Raffy buddy we keep trying to Tell you reality has a left leaning bias. Maybe you'd hear it if you were ever in the states when your constituents are trying to talk to you.
They relay objective information, so yes of course they do
These people are such little babies. The whole reason Conservapedia exists is because they had a meltdown over using CE and BCE for dates. You know, as is the standard. But little whiny conservatives need to have their little book club centered at all times.
Repeat after me, Die Mad About It. The sooner the better.
Is there a way to just download a straight copy of Wikipedia?
Def not asking because I expect every possible thing to go awry and we end up with Big Brother’s version of wiki
https://kiwix.org/en/applications/
Kiwix is an offline browser for wikis.
There's a library they have as well. I have a snapshot of Wikipedia from 2024 before the fascists took over. Also grabbed a couple others.
I think it was like 120GB for all of Wikipedia with pictures.
Excellent work. Share, copy, mail clusters of sd drives to all corners of the earth.
There is an official torrent that's about 25 GB compressed: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents#English_Wikipedia
Thanks for the share!
Neat. I will be maybe be dedicating a TB of storage to this for no particular reason

Yes you can download the whole database for a backup.
This seems like the perfect usecase for torrents. Is there an official torrent?
Edit: Nvm, found it.

I know Wikipedia is localized for many languages; I’ve never heard of a Straight Wikipedia though.

“Systemic issues are real when they affect the conservative agenda, and DEI is good when it requires including conservative propaganda.” Got it.
Snowflakes that can't deal with their own emotions. You can't rewrite reality by edict. Go back in time if you want to fix yourself. You can't undo the harm you've caused to all of us. Best thing to do is to stop causing harm.
Donated.
Unfortunately, the truth often has a left-leaning bias. If right-wingers aren't ok with that, they need to demand better from their sources.
"Dear sir or madam. I hope the day finds you well. I'm writing to let you know:
- You are how you are
- I don't like it
- as a private entity, you are well within your rights to tell me to fuck right off
- in which case I will cry and rub my hurting bottom
Thank you for your attention to this matter."
What a chode
