    This is how companies participate in the mass surveillance program.

    This has been happening A LOT. And no one is learning anything from all these stories?
    The system is trying to appeal to your good, trusting, forgiving nature. Do not fall for it.

    Free for ANYONE to edit.

    Except anyone the editor's don't like.
    Wikipedia tries to force consensus when controversy is abundant and absolutely shuts down viewpoints against the plurality's beliefs.

    Wikipedia isn't RationalWiki, but it's almost as bad.

    "Wiki's editorial staff" are just its general users.

    That is a complete lie.
    Pages are guarded by their authors trying to maintain their narrative and they get all the cover fire they need from an exclusive group of leftist-polarized editors.

    obvious vandalism

    why not also punish a trigger happy cop?

    Because cops are selected for their "average" (read: low) IQs and submission to authority?
    Because the problem isn't one cop's discretion, it's the training that ALL COPS receive?

    Trying to blame one kid for the intentionally hyper-violent law enforcement doctrine that pervades the country.

    Police are trained to be unjustly violent and blindly authoritarian.
    In other words, our police are almost completely militarized, from their training to their equipment.

    At any time you could become an "enemy combatant" in your own home, whether it be because of a systemic failure as in this case, or because of systemic manipulation. The chilling examples of the secret polices of inter- and post-war Europe come to mind.
    If you don't want a police state, you're going to have to figure out how to network with the people around you to make your voices heard.

    So every Russian user speaking English on twitter and reddit that has opinions that aren't "politically correct" is a government agent sent to disrupt American discourse....somehow.

    Meanwhile our own government has a proven history of infiltrating any and all institutions they want to in order to spread propaganda and subvert "politically incorrect" groups and movements.
    Meanwhile mass surveillance is proven: everything they can decrypt (not hard with broken implementations and backdoored hardware), everything unencrypted (such as locational metadata from your cell phone, credit card records, etc.) are collected and stored permanently for endless data mining.
    1 + 1 = the government is spying on us in order to develop more effective models of propaganda, and that is the source of the divide in this country.

    So sorry, life is not as comfy as you wish it was. Far past time to do something about this mess, from outside the bounds of law if necessary, as seems inevitable.

    Here's what you don't get: there is an entire class of 'junior citizens' who believe every word of it. They and their ancestors have had little education other than what the federal government provides and are predisposed to believe anything they hear from an authority (such as the news media) says. They are a growing segment of the population, while your class is a shrinking segment.

    They are going to replace your segment of the population with their sheer numbers and the lies they've been trained to believe will become a societal standard for your own belief and behavior, if not yours, then your descendants.

    Nobody cares. Move on... Seriously.

    Your attitude is unforgiveable. You see that lies are being spread wide and far by pervasive institutions...and your response is to IGNORE IT. As though it never entered into your imagination that lies breed conflict as their primary function. Have you grown up in a small box? You really believe you are so insulated from reality?
    Well then you'll no doubt end up getting what you deserve. Hopefully the morons like you don't sink the ship for the rest of us who have the sense first to care, and then to realize what is going on here, and then to actually do something about it.
