#92Some interesting ones: http://wikiwho.ailef.tech/diffs/c5885fe11dbfd31923f7554cf41c... http://wikiwho.ailef.tech/diffs/c5885fe11dbfd31923f7554cf41c... http://wikiwho.ailef.tech/diffs/ca44a9a42489ede43a5f58ccbd0d...
Crazy (your last link): > The reality is that waterboarding is not a form of torture and is in fact used in the training of US forces. Much of the debate surrounding the use of torture stems from politically motivated individuals who do not understand the techniques themselves or the complex nature of military operations.
Here's another one about waterboarding, very odd...

I completely lost trust in Wikipedia once I realized recent history is literally being rewritten by biased editors. For one, check the edit history of anything Russia/Ukraine war related, it's a complete shitshow.
> For one, check the edit history of anything Russia/Ukraine war related, it's a complete shitshow. I went and checked randomly a few edits. I’m not seeing anything I would describe as a “complete shitshow”. Can you please provide examples and tell us what you find objectionable?
You should look better then, I won't do your job for you. Keep in mind, English is not the only language on Earth, and definitely not the only one on Wikipedia.

History was always written by the victors, we only see it happen in real time now.

Still acting on the basis of the propaganda they drank like kool-aid, but pretty much. Hard to exclude some biased editors aren't actually paid from organizations/parties tho.

There’s perhaps a narrow sense in which this is true of how it is written, but that's really not the sense the original gets at, anyhow.
Which elements of the writing of those “people with literally no life” gets distributed, amplified, and becomes crystallized as history is still actively shaped by the victors, not only of the clashes between societies, but of the class and subculture conflicts within them.
And that editorial and distribution control, not the actual mechanical act of writing, is what the original was about.
