"As with similar organizations, which claim to be moral (but are not);
Wikipedia’s most important decisions are decided by feudal decree
(rather than the consensus democracy which the site claims is
existent). Wiki politics are dominated by personal attacks (rather
than the “Wikilove” which proponents gush on about), and Wiki articles
tend to be dominated by a narrow clique of self-proclaimed experts
(rather than by peer-review, as the site proclaims). In essence, the
Wikipedia is ruled by the tyranny of its owner, the former
pornographer Mr. Jimbo Wales (who dishonestly accepts donations from
the public, which trusts him to behave better); and via him, by a
pyramidal group of his Freudianesque disciples. Now, on most websites
this is not an issue; after all, I am a tyrant here at kapitalism.net;
but, and this is an important point, kapitalism.net is not pretending
to be some new-age website of ‘freedom, learning, consensus, and
discussion’. User: GrahamN sums up the situation rather nicely,
“Wikipedia is now like a totalitarian nightmare from Kafka.”
In China, the neo-leftists have come to denounce what they refer to as
‘bogus Western democracy’; the Wikipedia exemplifies this trend of
passing off a pyramidal republican cabal as some sort of democratic
organization. Really, with all the hidden-agendas, propaganda, and
reprisals against dissenters; the website has the atmosphere of a cult
or totalitarian police-state, rather than that of an encyclopedia or
academic institution. Of course, tools (of the regime) will argue that
“there is no cabal”; yet, on a website dominated by an elite group
(with special administrative powers); where dissenters are banned
without warning; where there is no judicial review, legal
representation, standards of justice, or even presumption of innocence
(which the policy pages explicitly denounce); where the burden of
proof lies entirely upon the defendant (assuming the defendant is not
a member of the controlling minority); and where complaints against
the ‘leaders’ are routinely moved, altered, minimized, and/or deleted
– how can there be anything but a cabal?"
No wonder Haifan Bahaim thrive in such a place. They are cut from the
same cloth. Seems like the anti-Wikipedia screed monkeys - to use
HamHead's phrase - are rearing their heads everywhere against a former
pornographer's enterprise in falsifying truth and facts. Founder Jimbo
Wales, the former pornographer, and Mirza Husayn Ali Nari share a lot
in common.
