He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:

  • Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
  • Narrative is fundamentally false
  • Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values > he claims to profess

I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible > than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.

Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.

Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

    I read on Wikipedia that klezmer music was banned in the Stalin era USSR. Of course, you can easily find klezmer albums recorded in state owned studios in the Stalin era USSR. Pointing this out is “original research”, which isn’t allowed by Wikipedia. Instead you have to use a so-called reliable source, which means any dumb shit published by someone like Anne Applebaum in the Atlantic is just fine. I advise against using Wikipedia for anything. Even a straightforward fact like a date of birth isn’t to be trusted unless you’re planning to dig through all of the citations.
