A) that’s a very biased view of it that you clearly are emotionally invested in B) an encyclopedia should describe all things factually. It’d be one thing if it described it as truth, but describing it truthfully is far different

A) Non-argument. B) Repositories of knowledge should not contain anti-knowledge.

Since you can just counter anything I say with calling it “anti-knowledge,” I’ll leave you with a profound quote: “That’s just like, your opinion, man”

Agitprop like "aesthetics are fascist" is pretty blatant opinion. Live up to your own standards.

You can read a summary on his Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avi_Loeb#Claims_about_alien_li...

I note that article seems quite biased against Loeb. For example, they cite USA Today strongly criticizing him, which is not a reputable source in this debate. Wikipedia also doesn't mention that many other astrophysicists think that his 'Oumuamua theory is unlikely but not crazy. They only cite very negative criticism, but not the many more neutral responses. They also don't mention that he is far from the only one…

I've got no horse in this race, but the great thing about Wikipedia is that you can edit the article[0] to fix anything that you feel is incorrect and/or not adhering to the encyclopedia's policies. You could also bring up your concerns on the talk page[1].

people are dying in camps but go off

thats about all i expected from you. you dont have a source

As of March 18, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that 46 people died while in their custody or detention facilities since the start of the second Trump administration in January 2025. The number of deaths of people in detention during 2025 exceeded the highest seen in over two decades, and deaths in 2026 are on track to meet or exceed that number. President Trump implemented immigration policy changes focused on increasing interior enforcement efforts to support mass deportation, which increased the number of immigrants detained by ICE to over 68,000 as of February 7, 2026, an increase of over 70% from the 39,000 immigrants held in detention at the end of the Biden administration in December 2024.

The blatant dumpty astroturfers are getting annoying, aren't they?

Being a dunce seems more likely than taking cash from the Russians but what do I know.

You're the one who said Russia. Could be a dunce, but just as easily an llm farm of the GOPs. We all know they aren't exactly ethical. But also, they have clearly made dunces out of a lot of people.

There’s also all the crime trump and his cronies are trying to distract from that they’re doing by ignoring laws and taking bribes and stuff.

Yeah, but like whatabout…

Wait you’re what abutting me?

What about all the red states who started the gerrymandering?

That’s the real question.

Why are you calling out one but not the other?

Because you’re a partisan hack

There are technicalities around all of this yes, but we used to have a Department of War with multiple branches of the military under it. Now we have a Department of War with multiple branches of the military under it. It's only named by executive order, which in practice is almost indistinguishable outside of some paperwork that few people will ever see. It's largely the spirit of the thing and the shift in communic…

> we used to have a Department of War with multiple branches of the military under it. No, we didn't. When the Department of War existed, it had exactly one branch under it, the Army. The Navy (including the Marine Corps)—as well as, in time of war only, the Coast Guard—was under the Department of the Navy, which was a separate cabinet level department. When the US Army Air Forces, which were not a separate branch of…

Again, you're missing the spirit. What we would consider today's Air Force and Navy were both under the same Department of War around the founding of the country and we're having the 250th anniversary of the U.S. It's clear that between the anniversary of the country and the threats the country is trying to deter, there is a clear purpose behind these changes and they are rooted in some history. I can get pushing back a little on imprecise language, but whatever LLM you're using is missing the point and wasting time.

The upcoming elections they are in the process of rigging.

Are you talking about Virginia where their constitution requires two legislature votes and an election between changing district maps? A fact everyone knew before attempting a redistricting to eliminate Republicans seats by forcing six districts to run through Fairfax… Or are you talking about something else?

I am talking about:

- the pardon of anyone involved with Jan 6, both the invasion of the capitol, the fake electors and the truthers that were condemned for lying in court or just plain contempt;

- the promotion of 2020 election deniers to positions of power over the elections in the current administration;

- the promotion of incompetent but loyal people at the head of the DOJ, FBI and DNI, who all refused to answer the question "who won the 2020 election" in a straight manner during hearings;

- the strategy of universal gerrymandering being a capstone of the GOP platform;

- the Supreme Court's recent ruling on VRA, and subsequent action to make sure it is applied ASAP even though the election affected has already begun (which is the exact opposite of how they ruled in the past);

- the constant refusal of Hesgeth to commit to the rule of law;

- the prosecution brought against six lawmakers for daring to remind soldiers they can only follow lawful orders;

- the constant accusations of voter fraud that don't exist;

- the attempt to forbid early voting, impose citizenship obligations

- etc, etc, etc.

Reminder also that Trump never commited to accept the results of the 2024 election before he won. Not a single time.

> red states who started the gerrymandering

My memory starts more than a year ago.

California, Illinois, and New York, rigged decades earlier than your screen told you to be mad at republicans who in reality are playing catch up on gerrymandering.

But I noticed you’re trying to avoid the actual point.

Virginia illegally pushed a new map against their own state constitution and their Supreme Court shot it down. Cry more about it.

Yes, I’m a partisan hack. Yeah that’s what’s going on here. You read the referendum question they pushed in Virginia and pretend you’re on the correct side of legitimacy.
