A complete dissection of the history of the David Woodard editing scandal as told by an Oregonian Wikipedian. The video is sectioned into multiple miniature documentaries about various bastards and can be watched piece-by-piece. Too long to watch? Read the link above.
too long, didn't watch, didn't read, summarize anyway
David Woodard is an ethnonationalist white supremacist whose artistic career has led to an intersection with a remarkable slice of cult leaders and serial killers throughout the past half-century. Each featured bastard has some sort of relationship to Woodard, revealing an entire facet of American Nazism which runs in parallel to Christian TREACLES, passed down through psychedelia. occult mysticism, and non-Christian cults of capitalism.
signpost.news gives me error 500 but Ars Technica has an article on Woodard
Some how I want to think this was paid for by Elon Musk to undermine Wikipedia
The (Falun Gong mouthpiece) Epoch Times recently had a front-page story on Larry Sanger’s criticisms of Wikipedia.
Hasn’t Falun Gong had beef with Wikipedia for a long time? I have a vague recollection of reading about that, but I do not know where.
Epoch Times and all associated media is deprecated
The Forrest Gump of American Weirdos is a pretty solid description here, yeah. Also how had I not heard about the fucking Rajneeshis before now?
@YourNetworkIsHaunted I suspect that you are too young. They made a LOT of news…
Somebody recommended me this video, I was enjoying it until suddenly (ca. 23:20 ) he name-drops Scott Alexander as “a writer whom I’m a big fan of”. I thought, should somebody tell him. Then I looked up and the guy has an entire video on subtypes of rationalists, so he knows, and chose to present as a fan anyway. Huh. Who is this guy anyway?
I half read, half skimmed the article. Man, what a strange, specific, and dedicated way to build buzz. This is the exact kind of weird conspiracy shit you’d expect nazi weirdos to be up to. If Indiana Jones did actual archaeology but only on the internet, this analysis would be the output. Good read.
