When Republicans talked about the dangers of immigrants destroying society they were actually talking about Musk.

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.

rubbing some brain cells together.

Doesn’t that cause a seizure

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.

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.
