How Wiki became social justice platform
https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-the-re...-wikipedia
Its become clear Wiki has moved to the left over recent years. This article talks about how the Wikimedia Endowment has been making those moves. Google is apparently tied into this as well. Wiki has become useless on anything political. There's a chart that shows how much more favorably Democratic governors and Senators are referred to in Wiki pages.


Summary:
"Wikimedia's Movement Strategy, which launched in 2017 with a plan to fund Wikimedia "in perpetuity" with its Wikimedia Endowment, was a significant pivot from Wikipedia’s mission: "where Wikipedia had been built on the principle of decentralized knowledge, the Movement Strategy would veer into the hyper-centralized space of top-down social justice activism and advocacy"
The Endowment is an independently governed long-term fund that bankrolls Wikimedia "projects." It was set up as a donor-advised fund at progressive megafund Tides for its first seven years; Tides' former General Counsel left to serve as Wikimedia Foundation's top lawyer around this time
Flush with well over a hundred million dollars in cash, the Wikimedia Endowment has funded initiatives that seek to abolish the police and create an "intersectional scientific method," among others..."



Another key part (its a long article):
"...There was good reason for any donor, especially one as high profile as Google, to be incentivized by this new arrangement. As a donor-advised fund, Tides Foundation provides a layer of anonymity to WMF contributors who do not want to be identified. But it also gives known donors a buffer between their contributions and the grants that WMF would make on the other end of the pipeline. Google could donate funds that would eventually get funneled into grants for radical social justice programs with a hefty degree of plausible deniability and no small amount of opacity. Such an arrangement could afford Google, and dozens of donors like it, all the social justice impact with none of the PR-nightmare downsides.

In 2022, Google and WMF went a step further with the creation of Wikimedia Enterprise, a for-profit arm of WMF that would pipe Wikipedia data to enterprise customers, with Google being the first and, at that time at least, only paying customer. Wikimedia Enterprise was launched as a part of the Movement Strategy to, in WMF’s words, achieve the strategy’s two major strategic aims: “advancing knowledge equity and knowledge as a service.”

Flush with dark donations and freshly sourced enterprise cash, WMF leaders did not hold back. A viral X post from 2022 explored some of the more egregious examples, including significant donations from WMF’s Equity Fund, like $250,000 to the SeRCH Foundation, which advocates for creating an “intersectional scientific method,” and another $250,00 for the Borealis Racial Equity in Journalism Fund, which has laid out a plan to raise up to $71 billion for BIPOC journalism while serving as a pass through that funds radical leftwing groups like Assata’s Daughters, a group that seeks to abolish the police.

Donations like these fuel social justice advocacy and activism across the country. But, for the WMF, they’re also just one part of a much larger picture of change. Pursuing its new global vision, WMF is now aggressively lobbying the UN to ensure it can influence the global body’s upcoming Global Digital Compact, a set of guidelines that seeks to regulate the internet the way the UN’s 2000 Global Compact sought, successfully, to regulate world of business through what would become known as ESG and DEI...."

RE: How Wiki became social justice platform
Reality game / competition shows like Big Brother show how far left biased Wikipedia too.

They always have a list of 'controversies' for every season and it's always one-sided commentary.

For instance, season 21 they had a player named Jackson who put up 3 people for eviction (usually it's two but some seasons have a twist to put up 3) that all happened to be minorities. He asked them to be aligned with him but they declined so when he won HOH he put them up. The host Julie Chen who is a far left racist nutjob who hates white people then called him out for it on finale night (he won). Wikipedia of course jumped in on it and wrote about how racist it was too.

But then a few seasons ago they went to now 50% minority casting and ever since all the black players are making pacts to make sure a black person wins and they only put up white people. Three seasons ago 6 black people all made it into the final 6 because they wouldn't target each other and CBS now casts mostly self-loathing far left white people who won't put them up either. Two seasons ago the black girl who won said she wouldn't put up a black person too and some white guy had a convo that the black players might be working together again and Chen and Wikipedia attacked him for even asking that and called him racist. This season in back-to-back weeks a black person won HoH and put up 3 white people on the block and when one of them won the veto they chose a white person as the replacement as well. Julie Chen and Wikipedia saw absolutely nothing wrong and no controversy in that though.

They also attacked a guy for making a comment about a girl having fake tits several seasons ago. That was well after she kept making small ***** comments and also said stuff like 'I'll never vote for a man to win this game because men are r*tards'. His comment was apparently sexist but hers weren't according to Chen and Wikipedia.
