When Republicans talked about the dangers of immigrants destroying society they were actually talking about Musk.
- Musk is white though.
  
  He's not one of those immigrants
  
  He is African American, though.... :D
Threat level for Wikipedia editors has gone up significantly. Just another sign of a dying democracy.
- As if there was ever a true democracy in the first place
  
  Give it another decade. We'll be praying 24/7/365 for a return of the democracy we had. And I'm not exaggerating.
- Nazis. What does the United States do with Nazis? Historically speaking of course.
Our own government is now our enemy.
This all could have easily been avoided by rubbing some brain cells together. Apparently a terrifying number of Americans are incapable of doing so.
- rubbing some brain cells together.
  Doesn’t that cause a seizure
- Right but… eventually Republicans would win and we’d be here regardless. That’s the worst part of it all.
  I think him winning the first time screwed us all.
I think Wikipedia is a could we to judge a country. As soon as the government tries to fuck with Wikipedia they are 100% assholes and anyone who is not also an asshole should not support/vote for them.
In case anyone else was curious, yes, you can download a dump of Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
And I'm prepare to raise my monthly donation. We need to protect wiki.
That literally sounds like domestic terrorism.
- There's a reason it sounds like that.
Wikipedia & Internet Archive should definitely move their legal bodies to EU.
