When Republicans talked about the dangers of immigrants destroying society they were actually talking about Musk.

He's not one of those immigrants

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He is African American, though.... :D

[–] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

He is rich tough.

Threat level for Wikipedia editors has gone up significantly. Just another sign of a dying democracy.

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de -5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As if there was ever a true democracy in the first place

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Give it another decade. We'll be praying 24/7/365 for a return of the democracy we had. And I'm not exaggerating.

Heritage Foundation are a bunch of fascists

Nazis. What does the United States do with Nazis? Historically speaking of course.

Our own government is now our enemy.

This all could have easily been avoided by rubbing some brain cells together. Apparently a terrifying number of Americans are incapable of doing so.

rubbing some brain cells together.

Doesn’t that cause a seizure

Right but… eventually Republicans would win and we’d be here regardless. That’s the worst part of it all.

I think him winning the first time screwed us all.

I think Wikipedia is a could we to judge a country. As soon as the government tries to fuck with Wikipedia they are 100% assholes and anyone who is not also an asshole should not support/vote for them.

In case anyone else was curious, yes, you can download a dump of Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

And I'm prepare to raise my monthly donation. We need to protect wiki.

That literally sounds like domestic terrorism.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

There's a reason it sounds like that.

Wikipedia & Internet Archive should definitely move their legal bodies to EU.
