I don't know many communist per se (mostly other flavor of leftists/marxists) but most of the folks around me hold wikipedia in high regards.
I definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing.
But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816
My point wasn't even judging Wikipedia. I just think "us vs them" is a horrible framework for reasoning.
How is OP using that reasoning though I don't get it. Just by using the word 'They'?
It sparked from me wondering who's this "they" OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.
And then, I associated that with "us vs them" rhetoric lines. I didn't even accuse OP of anything.
I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.
oh ok
Its showers all the way down man
