I like reading wikipedia too but Jow Forums told me that wikipedia is full of lies.
Joshua Williams
Nah, kind of biased for my taste in somd articles. Condervapedia is usually my go-to for history and politics.
Oliver Robinson
Yes, I like to read sometimes interesting things in Wikipedia
Have you already read anything about Colombia?
Parker Scott
No but I'll soon read about Colombia
Gavin Williams
I like to read wikipedia articles about deadly diseases, serial killers, tragic events, and quantum physics
Brandon Jackson
Cooper Walker
It isn't really full of lies, but it does obfuscate a lot of information to favour ((((their)))) narrative.
John James
Any examples?
William Brooks
Nah, kind of biased for my taste in somd articles. Rationalwiki is usually my go-to for history and politics.
Jayden Campbell
This better be bait...
Wyatt Hughes
A lot of American events from the past few years got this treatment. The site came under fire for it and the articles were edited to contain a more unbiased version of events.
Historical articles as well. They contain a good overview of events but will selectively favour information and outright exclude things that don't fit the accepted narrative.
Grayson Price
They also have some pretty good articles on logic and rhetoric
Thomas Richardson
No. Wikipedia is garbage and only enables laziness and mediocrity. I’ve told my students time and time again that Wikipedia is NOT a valid source for a paper or project, and yet those that even bother citing any sources at all still just copy/paste the one URL on their list of “sources”. I’ve started deducting points and once I even threw a paper in the trash because I’ve told the same kid at least 100 times to not use Wikipedia. Then some smart-ass decided to just use the links at the bottom of the wiki page as sources instead, so now before I assign each paper I have to go and look at all the sources on Wikipedia so I can know if they used it or not.
Henry Powell
What other sources would they use for your class. How do you know Wikipedia references are immediately invalid?
Brody King
Informations like how Hitler did nothing wrong?
Nathan Bailey

Jose Parker
He did a lot of things wrong, but probably not for the reasons you think he did.
Landon Jones
Used to love wikipedia binging as a teenager, now I have become a /lit/izen. Books are the superior form of information.
Aiden Murphy
Of all procastrinatoons,wiki is the best onr
Alexander Murphy
yes, used to spend a LOT of time on it desu
Jordan Sullivan
Ah yes that's what I thought. Protip: the greatest history never told isn't a valid historical source, stop linking it.
Caleb Butler
Do you mean the greatest story never told? I never mentioned it and you're right it's not a valid source and is full of shit.
That said, the textbook narrative is also disingenuous and full of shit too.
Ethan Thomas
I've read fuckloads of those political philosophy books in that chart.
The only one that I felt really described the state, not as it ought to be, but rather as it has been, is Hobbes' Leviathan.
Locke's Two Treatises on Government might have been much more influential in the American Founding Fathers' way of thinking, even though I'd say his work describes more of an idealized version of a state than any country that has ever existed.
To be quite honest, I find epistemology, logic, and metaphysics to be much more interesting than political philosophy, mostly because they're much more ample in terms of their subject-matter.
Grayson Williams
I generally agree, I just posted a random chart. However, the ultimate goal of epistemology, logic and metaphysics is still political action. As Nietzche argued in his Genealogy of morals, simply understanding the world (scientific thought, observable descriptions) is not really a goal, you should use that descriptive information to decide on how to act in the world. Marx said something similar even if his proposed action was catastrophic.
Oliver Wood
I browse wikipedia and I'm bored, which is a lot. I tend to scare people with my encyclopedic trivia.
Grayson Garcia
Literally my sophomore english teacher

Most of those are legit sources, though, user.
Lucas Clark
not really, i like to create fake accounts in social media like tinder or facebook and then mock women.
Isaiah Nguyen
I edit pages on simple wikipedia, specifically articles for military aircraft
