If you call yourself a “conservative” you’re either a fascist or a liberal that just isn’t quite there yet.
Infamous liberal
Adolf Hitler
So…half the conservative base agrees with a librul?
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.

Yes, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.
Their opinions on reality are not consistent. They will warp their minds into whatever twisted shape is required if they get to hurt the “other” (whoever that happens to be this cycle)

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.
Was not expecting the abrupt pivot into barely relevant bible study.
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.
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?
LOL
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.
The whole family is conservative shitbags with an axe to grind. A rich brewing family that makes second-rate beer and has shitty politics. They’re the rich that people talk about when they say “eat the rich.”
He tried to edit Wikipedia to insert his ideology. Wikipedia editors delivered the “science not nonsense” and “WP:NPOV” smackdown. Conservapedia is the result, written by and for ultra right wing home school students.
Thisis why you never trust wikipedia
It’s from conservapedia!
still a wiki
So, don’t trust the entire internet, then?
Pretty much. Take it all with a grain of salt
You’re not using that phrase correctly. “Take it with a grain of salt” means not to commit to the knowledge until it’s verified else where or at least applying basic skepticism to it.
Wikipedia is a fairly safe place to start with research, but I would never really believe it for current event politics or adjacent topics.
Conservapedia is an engineered echo chamber that exists because Wikipedia kicked their founders out for vandalism. It only gives credibility to Wikipedia.
Exactly, Wikipedia has all sorts of processes and policies around making articles high quality. That includes trying to remove as much ideologically driven material as possible. This would be deleted in seconds (maybe literally).

Yep. No relation other than cosmetic
Might as well say “never trust a website”
Can you really ever trust one? All of them have an agenda to push, no exceptions. If that agenda aligns with your’s, you’ve found an echo chamber for reinforcement. If not, perhaps you can learn of alternative viewpoints to an identical issue and maybe agree with some but not all of them. Things like wikis are supposed to be open to all opinions on a subject, but like everything good, someone will take it to corrupt.
You’re describing literally every discourse community and mode of communication. What you said applies to every book, newspaper, journal, website, forum, wiki, etc. There always some bias in some way. It’s how it works. Humans will be humans. It’s up to the individual to process information and discern what to think
Yep
“Never trust other people,” they say. I’m not sure I shpypd believe them, though.
No exceptions you say? Ah yes, the wiki agendas. I sure love the propaganda of the stardew valley wiki. Super echo chambery and clearly deep state politics
Glad to help heh
But it’s Conservapedia. And it says it’s “Trustworthy” under the logo.

Why do they list Hitler as their enemy, when their own selected Führer obviously idols him?
Conservapedia, like the incel wiki, are windows into parallel universes and both are proof, that ours isn’t the worst timeline after all.
Damm, getting a sneak peak on what the enshitification o Wikipedia will be like.
Wikipedia is a volunteer run nonprofit with enough money to be stable. I donate from time to time, but it really isn’t susceptible to enshittification.
Would wikipedia even meet the requirements for that?
It almost looks like incredibly well done satire
Poe’s law.
Gotta make sure to include the Hussein in Obama’s name
Can’t last let us forget that he’s probably related to Saddam somehow.
“everyone I don’t like is a liberal”
I wonder why they put Hitler on the list then.
They love pretending loke Hitler, the universal symbol for evil, was a socialist. They fuckin’ love fascism and everything he did but they have to pretend like what they’re doing is different.
They also have no idea what “liberal” means, but that’s the case with most words exceeding six letters.
Similar to socialists being in denial over how antisemitism can get them to go along with fascists. People on the fringes of politics tend not to be able to see themselves for what they are. Communists and Fascists are both authoritarian just with a slightly different grift. But when the fascists play up the greedy capitalist jew angle, the socialists jump on board with fascism along it with the rest of the useful idiots.
Are we playing the “socialism and communism are different things” game today? Because that’snnever fun.
Authoritarians aren’t communists. They’re just appropriating the term.
Are we playing the anarchists and communists are the same thing game today? Communists absolutely can be authoritarian, anarchists can’t anarcho-communists aren’t but not all communists are
true Scotsmananarcho-communistsAuthoritarianism isn’t something anyone should want so authoritarians need to make some kind of grift to convince people to go along with it. But it ultimately has the same result. Someone becomes dictator by promising to make a country stronger, while someone else becomes dictator by promising equal, it all ends the same.
I mean China is obviously a fascist government today (no matter what they call themselves) but where was the revolution that caused this massive shift from the “far left” to the “far right”? There wasn’t one because it’s just authoritarianism, the only change was which propaganda is used to justify authoritarian power.
He was a filthy painter, that’s why. Now, if he had painted with a gun…
Liberal arts?
#COMMUNIST
Not PZ Myers! D:
I can’t believe they spelled his name right for once.
Don’t forget: Satan is a Leftist
“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.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
Oh yeah. Then why kamala be dum?
Stupid lib
Man, I had to check your post history to know you were messin’ with me. Your conservative impression is spot on.
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
“Cheesecake is cake! It’s in the name!”
Cheesecake is not cake? Have i been living in a lie my entire life?
It’s a pie and/or tart. I’m sorry to have to tell you this and strip more of your innocence away.
When my family puts candles on one, sings “Happy Birthday” to me, and slices it up for everyone, then it’s a cake.
I think you’ll find there’s a lot of people who are happy getting birthday pies.
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?
There is a growing populace of people who actually believe the world is flat.
I mean, it’s not really growing anymore as far as I know.
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
Have they listened to Bill Maher lately? I don’t think he’s liberal anymore.
I think he is, unfortunately. he’s just mask-off about it.
Is…liberal? Or do you mean neoliberal?
Liberals don’t run around scared and clutching their pearls all the time, you get more views if you sell rage and fear. Conservatives love to be angry and scared all the time.
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
Hitler was just really passionate about giving free healthcare to Jews, LGBT, intellectuals, Romani, slightly swarthy people, etc etc.
If i didn’t know any better I’d say that was sarcasm :o
Clearly I’m misinformed on Hitler tho and they’re definitelyNOT labeling him with their no-no word in order to pretend they aren’t fuckin Nazis themselves.
Free hair cuts, de-licing and showers too.
And they all got a unique free tatoo!
How very liberal of them.
How is this list organized? It seems like they randomly wrote names down as it came to them.
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.
It’s specifically Conservapedia. They once tried to make their own translation of the Bible because they thought existing ones were too liberal.

Edit: almost forgot. The guy who runs it is the son of anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly.
Talk about a fall from grace.
That was a fun fucking read. Amazing.
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.
