people genuinely stupid enough to believe nato is defensive in nature have never opened a history book outside of their compulsory schooling
In fairness, propagandists write books about history too. It is entirely possible for a person that isn’t very curious to pick up “normie” pop history stuff and think they are learning.
There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don’t remember the details, though.
Most of the Wikipedia dramas are fantastic, pedantic and/or ideologically driven people fighting with other pedantic and/or ideologically driven people for pages after pages until some admin just unilaterally picks one side and locks the discussion
I seem to remember the “feces” Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it’s place.
Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don’t realize it’s satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
I think some people could think it’s not satire but that’s because there is a rule saying “we are not satire”. Guess what? That rule is satire too
Oh my god I was going to post the same thread, but I instead highly recommend the mega64 reenactment of the bodybuilding forum fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqylqmDl0Mw
