A right that’s getting rapidly eroded. Like, 1A is a right that’s pretty much reduced to only existing on paper at this point and some politicians are probably looking for a way to erase it from the Constitution entirely.
Or replace it with the conservative version, which states: white men have the right to call black people the hard-R N-word, without consequences, including getting called racist, losing friends, losing employment opportunities.

But that really is a bias too. Everything has a bias relative to most existing points of view. That’s why the “free speech” thing was invented, because when your world is larger than one isolated village or even one isolated, even if moving, royal court, then you can’t make everyone think the same subjectively correct way. Free speech was a way for nations to survive modernization. There are more dimensions to the world than any single person understands enough to not be what you said. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is an idiot in something and would want to shut everyone up in that dimension.
Not only it’s a right first and foremost of those you disagree with, though, but it also can’t ever be based on good will. It can only be based on inability to break by force. Like any other institution.
I think many bad things in our reality are due to reliance on good will having been covertly put into many key places of the mechanisms.
“Anything that says Hitler was bad, slavery was bad, and that Donald Trump isn’t literally God is biased and must be changed!”

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.
But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is “of course we’re being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?”
In Hungary we have a saying: “The problem isn’t what he did, but that he was busted doing it.” since the Gábor Kaleta and József Szájer cases, and the Hungarian PragerU clone Axióma kind of implied this, essentially saying “leftist hypocrisy proves that the left’s views are unfeasible, rightist hypocrisy proves that people on the right are humans first and foremost”.

Sorry, but that’s all permanent political -isms. To find -isms which are not centered around that proposition, you have to leave politics and look for various ephemeral ideas, which only become popular in response to disturbances.

They’re scared of self-governing NGOs and free fonts of knowledge.
They can try… Wikipedia has been bolstering themselves against this exact kind of attack for many years. They’ve made the entirety of the site completely downloadable for literally anyone to make and keep a copy and lots of people do (though the more the better).
The Wikimedia corporation that runs the actual site may have to ensure that it’s incorporated in a different country though.

The biases:
Calls Israel’s genocide a genocide.
Does not state, that the “judeo-christian” god is real, and that the creation myth is real. Does not state that evolution is a “discredited theory”, using arguments from the Discovery Institute as citations.
States that trans people exists, citations point to actual studies, articles don’t automatically redirect to an article about “narcissistic personality disorder”, currently existing article on NPD does not list “gender confusion” as a potential sympthom, and no links to websites of christian “psychologists” (read: theologists with a doctorate) offering “therapy” (read: exorcism, forced prayer, forced conversion to fundamentalist christianity.
Does not call liberalism a “childish psychosis”.
Lists actual COVID death numbers, does not call mRNA vaccines “modified RNA”, does not reserve autism spectrum disorder only for boys that are extremely low functioning.

Good thing I downloaded it then because it’s probably going to be blocked in the US next.
How do you download Wikipedia?
en.wikipedia.org/…/Wikipedia:Database_download
kiwix makes it easy ☞ apt.izzysoft.de/…/org.kiwix.kiwixmobile.standalon…
Kiwix is probably the easiest way.
Easiest way is via Kiwix.
It begins.
It began 10 years ago. This is just the latest.
You are in boiling water, frog
sittin in the waiting room… sittin in the waiting room… BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET OUT
It began in 1983, somewhere around TCP/IP becoming a thing.
400+ years ago at least…
Is there something illegal about that? If Wikipedia has organizational bias, it’s covered by their first amendment right.

What the hell does the house oversight comitee have to do with a private endeavor?
Even if there was such bias, doesn't the 1st amendment cover it, as it does Fox, for example?
forgot about Epstein yet?

might as well say hunt down and take out
There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government’s business.
The party of “small government?” “Don’t tread on me?” What the hell happened, Republicans?
Facism happened. Governement run by Captialists.
Yep back in the 1930s.
pretty much predicted by Jack London in The Iron Heel in 1908 but people have been saying it longer than that.
Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.
That’s only when it’s private companies they like.
That was always an obvious lie.

Organized bias is illegal? Of course in this context its simply the truth.
“organized bias” lmfao. Did you you mean jewish lobbies getting people fired and Israeli state flooding google ads with war propaganda?
In other words, they’re not publishing the propaganda of the new fascist US government?
Can’t it just relocate to say… Switzerland
