Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah I wasn't sure which to post. Maybe dang can put that link in the description...

Fwiw in future - you can do that too on submission. URL and description are not either-or.

Oh I thought that was only possible in [ask, tell, show]hn.

Thanks!

This is now the end of Wikipedia for me, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the admins try to split the wiki into endless forks.

did you read the reason why he was blocked? I can't say who's right or wrong but their reasons for blocking him seem to be valid in nature.

I found the thread hard to parse.[0].

Can you explain the reason? from a brief skim he is promoting some project he wants to start in wikipedia from outside wikipedia, is that it or did I misunderstand?

If there's one article that shows the problem with Wikipedia it's the one you're quoting and it's sister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_th... which says that cultural marxism is an anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

And then you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School and leave confused...

Edit: for example, here's a passage from the wiki page on frankfurt school.

Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, written during the Institute's exile in America, was published in 1944. While retaining many Marxist insights, this work shifted emphasis from a critique of the material forces of production to a critique of the social and ideological forces brought about by early capitalism.

So, culture? and marxism?
