There’s a lot of dumbass comments and suggestions all over the internet. Why dig for them and give them more publicity just to stoke anger?

The notability of the subject was brought into question. Shitlibs obviously got involved, but I don’t really think anything unreasonable happened here.

the point of this post is “some libs are trying to erase history now. look, here is an example.”

whether they succeed or fail in this one instance is a lot less interesting than the fact of the attempt.

it’s a cultural barometer.

The “important context” was that there was even a discussion about deletion in the first place, demonstrating that neo-nazis agitation has seeped into every corner of the internet

Frankly if you consider that “bait” or something not worth getting angry about then that says something about you

Yes it was an “affair” and the incident is totally not Canadians are propping up and harboring known SS Nazis. It’s all about the “embarassment” the damage of the truth did. Not the actual facts.

It’s like IDF and NAFO having a struggle session.

Must be on a different page. OP says it’s on some forum. No idea what corner of Wikipedia you have to dig around in to get to forums.

Oh don’t mind me I’m just whitewashing history to fit my narrative and soothe my guilty fucking conscience.

If you claim to love history you take it warts and all. How are you supposed to learn from it if you ignore the mistakes? Would that be permitted in other disciplines like medicine or rocket science? Welp ho hum off to my job at NASA trying to fly a cube into space because aerodynamics can be ignored.

If history starts getting deleted from wikipedia because it’s inconvenient to liberals THAT is the quickest way to kill wikipedia as a reliable and “unbiased” source in the eyes of everyone.

I could not have come up with a better way to kill wiki than they have come up with themselves.

If you haven’t read this article, I highly recommend. Wikipedia has severe issues regarding reliability.

“in the eyes of everyone” was the operative phrase. Awoo definitely knows some NATOpedia lore, like most people on this site do.

yeah i assumed she likely knew about it. I probably could’ve phrased it better. I comment as much for the lurkers as for the people I’m responding to.
