Wikipedia had to censor its encyclopedia to make it more free.
The best thing about this is how benevolent it all is. You feel like a two year old child listening to mother about why not to eat candy because it will rot your teeth. And how they’ll take away your cap gun and spaceman helmet so that you won’t get white male ideas.
Can anyone translate that into English?
I’m not fluent in Douchebag.
Thanks in advance.
I understand the definition of most of the individual words. Can’t make any sense of them the way they’re arranged.
“Intentionality” sounds like made up word.
I speak Jive:

All together now:
“Douchebag, douchebag uber alles!”
Re oral histories and indigenous knowledge: Wikipedia can explain how the First Nations hunted, fished, and picked berries under 5000 ft of ice.
We have a lot to learn from the indigenous! 🙂
I know!!! Them olden day indians must have been gods to have such great functioning societies without an alphabet, numbers or the wheel. Pure genius!!!
But I guess it all went downhill when my people introduced then to firewater.
Maher is perhaps the epitome of AWFL.
What a viper.
Hey!!! Don’t forget the hour wait before swimming. Near and dear to my heart.
Not to mention watching Ed Sullivan on Sunday evenings 2 feet away from the TV would put me in the Helen Keller Institute.
or cracking your knuckles caused arthritis
or crossing your eyes will make them stay that way.
and the hairy palms, that too causes blindness.
lm 72 and real glad l dont gotta live thru the end of this accelerating nonsense.
they whole goddam free world in some sort of mao cultural revolution loop, all trying to outdo the other EXACTLY as in Chirer in the late 60s.
theyl’l all fcukin starve though, just like all those other mass movements against common sense, their society turns into lemmings and bring their own end which is good. the rest of us dont have to get our hands dirty.
“did not end up living into the intentionality of what openness can be.”
This is Woke(tm) for “shut up!”
This is gobbledygoop so thick I can’t even imitate it. Five out of five for mastery of bafflegab, baby.
Now explain how censorship promotes openness. That ought to be a giggle.
One might wonder why this person ended up on the board of a foundation allegedly committed to:
“Develop privacy technology that protects free expression and enables secure global communication”
and how much they paid her to be there?

Katherine Maher says that she abandoned a “free and open” internet as the mission of Wikipedia, because those principles recapitulated a “white male Westernized construct” and “did not end up living into the intentionality of what openness can be.”
Translation: We lie like rugs, to make sure Trump can’t win.
No Richfisher, you need to understand woke whiteness as the prism through which this must be viewed. People like me are smart and creative and can handle freedom because we’re just so awesome. Not all cultures contain people as awesome as I am. Most cultures absolutely suck and need to be told what to do (by awesome people like me). We need to ensure that these less developed peoples don’t use their access to freedom to escape their destinies as housekeepers and groundsmen for us, their enlightened masters. Because not everyone can be superior, like me, and deserve the good things that come with being superior.
or, translated from douchebag to English – I don’t want competition from those who didn’t grow up speaking the right language, going to the right schools, or having the right accent. We must control what they know and learn to prevent them from opposing our (superior?) intentions and actions.
It’s completely morale-sapping being part of an organization and have your leadership make you take “training” written and given by these progressives and their made up words and BS. You look around and wonder if you’re the only sane person in the room, listening to word salad from crackpots box-checkers like these. Later on, these words find their ways into policy, rules and mission statements.
Engineering societies are all over this. Like it matters what an I beam’s pronouns are when you’re deciding whether it makes the cut as a load bearing member.\
(note – if you want to crack a joke at “member” then you’re part of the problem. Take a stiff drink, then ask yourself “Woody really make a pun like that, here and now in this linguistically explosive discussion? Phallus well, as long as we’re not all Richards about this.”)
As the pimp said to the whore as he pointed to the Korean john, “Gobbledegook!”
“living into the intentionality”
I find it difficult to trust people who can not or will not speak plainly. I figure either their thinking is muddled, or — worse — they are intentionally being obscure.
Word on “X” these days, is that her CV reads like a CIA operative. Wouldn’t surprise me.
I actually watched that entire thing without glazing over. Must be the bourbon.
So, she’s a racist.
