nephs @lemmy.world Any argument based on "us vs them" is flawed by default.
16 2 ReplyShardikprime @lemmy.world Yeah, like, who are "they"?
7 3 Replynephs @lemmy.world Nazis, terrorists and/or communists. In abstract, no definition or distinction. Just don't think about it too much.
"They" will fit one of these. But for sure, trust "us", because we're definitely not either of these.
5 6 ReplyShapillon @lemmy.world 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.
4 0 Replynephs @lemmy.world 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.
2 0 Replychicken @lemmy.dbzer0.com How is OP using that reasoning though I don't get it. Just by using the word 'They'?
1 0 Replynephs @lemmy.world 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.

6 4 Replynephs @lemmy.world You got 1000 upvotes. At that scale everything is a political statement. 🎉
4 2 ReplyDaft_ish @lemmy.world OP Brah, I was just happy that Wikipedia hasn't joined the enshitification train.
4 1 Replynephs @lemmy.world I agree wholeheartedly. :)
My commentary was an observation about "us vs them" way of reasoning, only.
I'm happy for your lemmy karma success!
