This human being is such a public and civic embarrassment I have to shield my eyes and pledge a hail mary. He is a public spectacle of utter cultural failure.

For a lot of people abroad it's still like that. There's a lot of inertia in how most people perceive other places. I'm from a post-commie country, and while a lot of people here are extremely anti-woke because they've seen what's happening in the so called "developed" countries, there's also a lot of people who still think that communism means red banners, so if there aren't any red banners then it can't possibly be communism. It's deeply frustrating.

We lived in Moscow for five years and never once did I hear the word 'comrade'.

In central Moscow there is the Fallen Monument Park https://www.streetrussian.com/moscows-fallen-monument-park/ where many communist era sculptures and statues were demoted to. Fabulous place actually and a very chilling one too.

I fail to see how crackdowns on degneracy would affect gays that arent sodomites and dont go around in public screeching about how theyre attracted to the wrong sex.

Wow they even deleted mention of his real name in the talk page, where editors merely discuss controversial editing subjects. Wikipedia is a fucking joke.

The downside of a wiki anyone can edit is the people that would actually make good edits have shit to do.

And that's not even getting into the byzantine rule scheme and the turf wars the editors get into when anyone infringes on their pages.

What an awful site.

It's literally a cesspool and normies look at it like some kind of infallible holy source of information.

The best thing that they actually taught us in public school was that Wikipedia wasnt a viable source.

Not everyone can edit wikipedia, the blessing of our tranny overlords is required first.

I remember in ages past it was fairly easy to inject new content or edit pages, but over time "controversial" subjects became increasingly protected by cliques of commie editors abusing their 3 edit rule, and it because impossible to do anything but cleverly troll. The last straw for me was their insistence on a curated list of "reliable sources", which is the same model that big tech have adopted in general.

I once read the discussion of an unrelated but "controversial" article earlier this year. It was like reading two squabbling redditors who let the discussion decline into accusations. One accused the other of bigotry, and the other scrambled to persuade everyone that the accusation was false and that they were tolerant and all accepting.

...which gives me an idea for whenever I feel like engaging in a talk page :)

I noticed one of the editors included this reason "The subject's birth name is a matter of public interest, and should be included in the article". I guess ideology trumps public interest for these wikipedia wackjobs.

They apparently have this weird arbitrary rule that if a person was famous before announcing their troon status, the birth name has to be mentioned but only as a "former" name. That's why Bruce Jenner and Ellen Page have their real names on their articles. So fucking dumb.

They probably don't want to disappear from search results for Bruce Jenner and Ellen Page.

Next up should be gettin' their asses over there to do some some fixin' because CAITLYN Jenner not only did NOT compete in the 1976 Olympics, but CAITLYN Jenner also did NOT win the decathlon.


Enough with the 🐂 💩.

They want to claim that the cute architect who helped Cobb create a brain maze in Inception is a boy. Reality doesn't real.

That thing is a product of a decaying and failing society. A true modern horror show not seen since Weimer Germany.

do not accept the concept of "deadnaming"

do not let the slime run from the past.

While the term is useful for referring to using names that people changed from, the term is mostly used when defending gender identity extremism.

There are allot of criminals who would love to falsely claim they're trans just to exploit regressive style hate speech laws to conceal their past.

I have redacted the deadname from the comments above as it is not necessary for anybody to mention what the deadname actually is, even when discussing whether it should be included.

I'm so euphoric. I'm going to cum.
