    Conservapedia, like the incel wiki, are windows into parallel universes and both are proof, that ours isn’t the worst timeline after all.

    “Hitler was a socialist! It was in the name!” “China is communist! It’s in the name!” “North korea is communist! It’s in the name!”

    “Kamala harris is a communist! She is with the democratic party, but that does not mean she is one. 🤡” “Trumps wouldbe-assassin was not a republican. He might be registered as such, but that does not suit my agenda 🤡.” “Everything i read or hear, i see as fact or not based on what helps me most 🤡”

    These people are absolute fucking clowns and it’s impossible to talk or argue with them because they are not grounded in reality. It is exhausting.

      Could you imagine of Adolf Hitler named and said thjngs that were lies with the purpose of manipulating people and getting in power? Thankfully, we live in a timeline where he cant lie

      I can’t imagine being a voting-age adult and not immediately understanding that these people are full of shit? You don’t even need to know what specific words mean to see what they’re doing. It’s so fucking dumb and childish.

        Try huffing leaded car fumes for 20 years first. Then immerse yourself in Reagan-Era propaganda for the next 20. Finally, miss out on the biggest bull market in history because you put all your retirement savings in canned tuna and collectible gold coins like all your very wealthy online friends told you to.

        Now you’re in your late 60s, your kids and grandkids never talk to you, you’re scrapping by on Social Security after five years of killer inflation, and all you can do every day is sit in a dingy suburban ranch house watching “Mexican Muslims Have Caravaned The Border And Stolen Our Jobs” every waking hour.

        There’s a Trump rally in town. All your friends are going. And the booze is free. Who are you voting for in November?

      Always create an in group and an out group, these labels aren’t meant to be accurate for them, they don’t care, they just want to have a word for those people there who we don’t like and dehumanize them, if they could they’d just use the N word for everyone

        I’m constantly reminded of that 90s (I think) country song. “You’ve Got to Stand for Something or You’ll Fall for Anything.”

        Many of them just keep falling for the next lie, even while the previous lies are being corrected. They never stop for a minute and think the place they are getting their info from is bad.

      No no no. This is Adolf Hitler [bad, because National Socialism Volkswagon Bailout Lost The War].

      You’re thinking of Adolf Hitler [good, because Based Chad Hates Immigrants Retvrn To Tradition].

      Two totally different guys.

    Every single republican is also a liberal. It’s the dominant ideology of capitalism and its state.

    The difference is that the liberalism of republicans is more “classic” in that it’s heavily mixed with racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, etc.

      When you say liberal, do you mean social liberalism or classical liberalism?

      It’s a Wiki, so you can just pop in and add a bullet point however you like, assuming you have an account.

      This probably was crafted by a small pool of die-hards who dropped a name on the list any time they found out someone existed who made them mad.

          I clicked through to their article on Conservapedia because I was curious what they had to say about it and

          Conservapedia, also known as “The Trusworthy [sic] Encyclopedia”, is essentially an American-exceptionalist and dominionist group blog, disguised as a half-functioning wiki. The website was created by God-King Andrew Schlafly in 2006 because of his belief that Wikipedia is deceitfully riddled with “liberal bias” and “atheist bias,”[note 1] because apparently the best way to solve real or imagined bias is to create a website that is biased in an opposite way. The vast majority of articles go out of their way to blame pretty much everything negative on “liberals” (which they use as a catch-all snarl term for anyone and everyone who disagrees with them on just about any given issue — which happens to be everyone),

          I have to say I find it kind of funny that a site calling itself “RationalWiki” would use language like this. I have my doubts that it is possible to violate Wikipedia’s “encyclopedic tone” guideline any harder.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere in the terms of use for that wiki that they clarify that they are not liable for any trust users put in the articles and the tagline “trustworthy encyclopedia” cannot be enforced

        It’s an internet encyclopedia built for and by conservatives. Literally everything on there abruptly pivots to barely relevant Bible study.

          I’m used to UK conservatives. They don’t like poor people, I think religion is really a minor issue for most of them though (after all it does generally preach kindness to the poor).

            Yeah I suppose I should have prefaced it with American conservatives. Because American conservatism is thoroughly wrapped up in Christian authoritarianism.

        In order to understand it you have to understand its creator: Andrew Schlafly: he’s an electrical engineer and lawyer and his mother is Phyllis Schlafly, a lawyer famous for her militant opposition to feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment, a proposed amendment to the constitution that reads:

        Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

        Phyllis wasn’t just some opponent of that amendment, no she was probably the primary reason it failed.

        In short: there’s no reason why that website should be in any way sane just as there’s no reason its founder should be in any way sane. He really likes to critique physics theories that he doesn’t understand by citing philosophy and theology.

        Several parables in the Bible foreshadow the insight of quantum entanglement about paired photons having opposite spin

        Interesting, I wonder what their evidence is for that-

        by contrasting two men in their relationship with God. The Prodigal Son contrasts two brothers, two churchgoers are contrasted in Luke 18:9–14 , and two brothers are further contrasted in Luke 21:28-31

        Just… 2 people being compared?
