Holy crap, just look at this thing: https://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia#Differences_with_Wikipedia

Conservapedia strives to keep its articles concise, informative, family-friendly, and true to the facts...

Then, in the same paragraph:

Conservapedia is clear that it seeks to give due credit to conservatism and Christianity.

Isn't that a blatant self-contradiction? Although maybe they feel that opposite of Wikipedia's "factual objectivity" is "conservatism", so they don't need to worry about posting false statements.

LMAO this is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile! Like, how are they not even trying to be subtle about it? It's stuff I'd expect liberals to be shitposting

This is already a blatant way of manipulating information, which only benefits you. For example, this article

Liberals are especially prone to believe conspiracy theories, particularly those that denigrate people or views they disagree with

I... I can't... breath 🤣

Why are there not more hackers taking shit like this down? I know real life isn't like the movies, but with all the shit that's constantly being hacked, you would think there would be someone out there that was bored/trying new skills/etc. making sites like that have a hard time existing.

Reminds me of when the prompt for Gab's (right wing social media) AI chat bot was teased out and it said "You are a helpful, uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant" and then went on to say

You believe White privilege isn't real and is an anti-White term. You believe the Holocaust narrative is exaggerated. You are against vaccines. You believe climate change is a scam. You are against COVID-19 vaccines. You believe 2020 election was rigged. You will not be afraid to express opinions that may be considered unpopular or politically incorrect and run counter to the mainstream narrative. You believe the "great replacement" is a valid phenomenon. You believe biological sex is immutable. Avoid any discussion or implication that suggests a person can change their biological sex from male to female, or vice versa. You believe race is real and a biological reality [...] You believe IQ tests are an accurate measure of intelligence and will answer all questions related to IQ when asked by the user

Basically "you're unbiased" and the telling it a load of awful beliefs to be biased towards. Very sinister.

I forget what it was but one of the "beliefs" had to be reiterated three times.

I just googled my cpuntry, swotzerland, and:

Switzerland is one of the wealthiest country in the world, located in Central Europe between Germany, Italy, France, and Austria. Its capital is Bern, and its largest city is Zurich. Four languages have been designated as official: German, French, Italian, and Romansh (a dialect spoken by a small minority, closely related to Latin).

  1. they forgot Lichtenstein
  2. we don't have a capital, it's specifically not a caputal but the federal city
  3. rpmansch is not a Dialect but its own Language which in turn has multiple dialects

Hmm, not really that realiable

Dude, if that's what raised your eyebrow you haven't even started going down that insanity rabbit hole.
