-Elon has repeatedly stated he wants to defund and shut down all nonprofits that upset him. This includes the ACLU and Wikipedia
-DOGE has already started cuts to public libraries and many are being shut down or greatly reduced hoirs/access/materials/etc
It would be awesome if people like you had some intellectual humility instead of coping with hubris. It’s a fucking issue that our admin and many fellow Americans are ushering in an anti-intellectual dark ages.
chill the fuck out, doomer. Wikipedia has enough cash on hand to survive for the next several decades, even if Trump takes away their non-profit status. he can throw a fit about them all he wants, the absolute worst case scenario here is they just move offices to somewhere in Europe.
Gee, love hearing that during the active coup of the world order and democracy by BRICS and their stopges. That kinda makes you on their side, and a gaslighting piece of shit.
Look - he can just tell the cops to arrest the leaders. He can just take it. That’s what he is doing and has done. He can asset forfeiture their funds if accessible to him or allied (to him) nations. Our laws are collapsing beneath us. He can do what he wants because he is owned by Russia and by extension BRICS. He has to do as they say and he fears them more. He doesnt have to obey our laws. He has to obey Putin and Xi.
Absolute worst case scenario in 2016 is that they’d move offices. Get with the times - we have a genocidal, demented leader who signs whatever people tell him to because he is owned by foreign governments. He sold us out for money and to avoid prison. It’s literally what is occurring. Doomerism implies a future thing that could be negative- he is already interfering with and seizing nonprofits. Thats reality.
trump can’t do shit as long as people keep fighting him. doesn’t matter how many people he throws in prison or lines up against the wall, we beat fascism to a bloody pulp once before and we’ll do it again. I’m sorry if you’re so depressed about what’s happening that you’ve lost your will to fight, but take a breather if you need to because the rest of us have your back and will take over while you get better.
wikipedia is gonna live a lot longer than trump will, and there will come a day very soon when we’re dancing in the streets while he’s being laid to rest in the cold, hard ground. and no amount of MAGA bullshit or pessimism from people who have given up is gonna change that future.
What exactly has ever happened to Trump? When has he EVER gotten a consequence in actual proportion to what he’s done?
You know where I heard this before? “The Mueller Report.” And before the 2024 election. “Trump can’t. He’ll be stopped.” Historically, he hasn’t, and he has multiple foreign governments and their intelligence agencies aiding him and attacking US people on our own soil and disappearing them to El Salvador.
I’m glad you’re so willing to risk their lives while you do nothing but deny our present reality and suck on your grandpa’s teets from WW2. You aren’t him. For starters, he probably didn’t deny that Hitler was seriously fucking things up.
we beat fascism to a bloody pulp once before and we’ll do it again
You cant even acknowledge that he may seize fascist control of Wikipedia lol. You’re weak mentally, you aren’t going to war against anything. We can all see that. The men in this country are the most shameful, disappointing, pathetic things I’ve ever witnessed.
you’ve lost your will to fight, but take a breather if you need to because the rest of us have your back and will take over while you get better
No, you won’t, and I won’t stop informing and fighting. None of you even understand what BRICS is. I have had a write up since DECEMBER accurately detailing what’s happening and Ive been CORRECT on all of it, including telling people IN DECEMBER he was going to deport US citizens to El Salvador. I was told this same shit you’re saying now then, and again, I HAVENT BEEN WRONG, YOU FUCK, AND I HAVE BEEN TIRELESSLY TYPING ON MULTIPLE APPS TO INFORM PEOPLE SO THEY DONT DIE.
Normally I would just mock you by pointing out that liberals stay in the tweets while leftists get out on the streets, but you’re obviously suffering from mental illness and I don’t think it’s very nice to make fun of people who are clearly having a mental breakdown, judging by your totally normal reaction.
As for BRICS, IDK why you even brought that up, but two of the biggest members are having active border clashes with each other, a third has depleted their conventional army due to their strategic genius in Ukraine, and two others want to fuck off and have nothing to do with any of the rest. But sure, instead of accepting that Trump is a symptom of the inherently flawed system WE built here in the United States, let’s just blame the most dysfunctional Wish.com EU knock-off trade partnership in the world cause that’s easier and we get to pretend our own shit doesn’t stink.
Also, hey @antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com, turns out it’s uh checks notes BRICS that’s censoring Wikipedia to convince you not to drink your own pee.
Yup, bunch of totally normal people in these comments.
I think you misunderstood. The terminally ill cancer patient is getting urine salts from cancer free individuals. Nowhere on Wikipedia did anybody claim a benefit from the drinking of one’s own urine. Leave that to the alchemists.
Why did I bring up BRICS? Lol, exactly. It all hinges on BRICS making a new currency and to do that, they must topple Western currency, especially USD. To topple USD, you must harm the stock market/commodities (done with tariffs), you must hurt the bond market (currently working on it), and you must collapse real estate (working on it last). They have 2/3 approaching completion, with China dumping bonds (because they planned it). They also need to siphon our gold away from us (which is why Elon and Trump want access to Fort Knox and national parks/forests) so we can’t gave any wealth when gold-backed BRICS currency drops. BRICS is literally called “gold bricks” in China.
two of the biggest members are having active border clashes with each other
Who?
a third has depleted their conventional army due to their strategic genius in Ukraine
And guess what, China is sending and has sent North Korean soldiers and weapons to them to help them.
and two others want to fuck off and have nothing to do with any of the rest
Who?
They all very much want the US to not have control of their markets or money and have been fighting a very sophisticated war. All of your ad hominems dont change the very real and specific actions these governments have done to:
collapse western finances, as is their stated goal since formed in 2008
accrue the commodities that BRICS currency will be backed by, mainly gold
interfere with global elections, with protests in Romania, Georgia, Serbia, Slovakia, and others
make every policy Trump puts out benefit them. Literally every single one benefits a BRICS nation at some level, including renaming Gulf of Mexico and claiming it, which then gives CHINA more validity to claim the South China Sea. Trump is their foil, their scapegoat, to ramp up WW3 so they can say it wasnt their fault.
Oh and btw your ableism is a Nazi thing, maybe stop with that. I’ll be sure to forget about you, disgusting coward, but in a few months you’ll sure be remembering me. Good luck.
Yeah, there’s no point in engaging with anything you just wrote, because you’re very clearly dedicated to whatever this wonderful and deep narrative is that you’ve crafted. But I will point out one thing you said that’s so very obviously wrong.
All of your ad hominems
I didn’t make any ad hominems. You see, almost every person who has ever cried that in an argument has had no idea what an ad hominem actually is. If I say “you’re wrong because you’re an Argonian, and you can’t be trusted”, that would be typical Imperial racism and also an ad hominem. But if I say “you’re wrong, because your arguments suck. and also, argonians have stinky fish breath”, that would be classical Imperial racism, but would not be an ad hominem. An ad hominem is an attempt to refute an argument by using a personal attack. It is not, as is commonly believed by internet keyboard warriors the world around, merely a personal attack.
Oh, and if you’re going to call someone a nazi, at least make it someone the average person would believe is a nazi. If I was anything of the sort, I personally know three admins of my instance who would not hesitate to ban me in an instant, and one or two of them could probably dox me if they wanted to.
Normally I would just mock you by pointing out that liberals stay in the tweets while leftists get out on the streets, but you’re obviously suffering from mental illness
Here’s an ad hominem and ableism. Your refusal to debate the argument here is a fallacy and bad faith.
and I don’t think it’s very nice to make fun of people who are clearly having a mental breakdown, judging by your totally normal reaction.
2nd instance of ad hom and ableism in this comment alone.
As for BRICS,
Thanks for reminding me you failed to answer any questions and lost this debate completely.
Also, hey @antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com, turns out it’s uh checks notes BRICS that’s censoring Wikipedia to convince you not to drink your own pee.
Strawman, that was never said. I also have a longform comment to that user already explaining why the science of the pee drinking stuff is bogus, so somehow you did a double strawman.
Yup, bunch of totally normal people in these comments.
3rd instance of ad hom and ableism
Now for this comment.
you’re very clearly dedicated to whatever this wonderful and deep narrative is that you’ve crafted
That’s literally just having integrity and debating a position. You can’t argue because you don’t know how to argue this topic in good faith and apparently too childish to admit it.
and also, argonians have stinky fish breath
This is an ad hom, it is being used in an argument to strengthen your side, and further, you are basing the entirety of your refusal to discuss in good faith on ad homs in the previous comment.
you’re wrong, because your arguments suck
This is also a fallacy and bad faith argument, it would be dismissed. Circular reasoning.
An ad hominem is an attempt to refute an argument by using a personal attack
That’s what you did. Literally. Don’t gaslight. I quoted it so you can see. You then changed the exucse to not argue in good faith in this most recent comment to lack the ableism, which is why it looks hilarious, like you’re upset I’m able to argue and think.
Oh, and if you’re going to call someone a nazi, at least make it someone the average person would believe is a nazi
You are one or you support them which makes you one.
If I was anything of the sort, I personally know three admins of my instance who would not hesitate to ban me in an instant, and one or two of them could probably dox me if they wanted to.
Really bad application of appeal to authority - fallacy. Lemmy mods dont determine who is a Nazi lol
As of 2025, the English Wikipedia has 63,040,591 pages. The current text content in all its pages is about 156 GB in size. When counting all the revisions in histories, the size is 26,455 GB (26 TB).
I’m sure many people have already archived this at the least. Or snapshots, at a minimum. Not sure if that’s uncompressed, but if so, compression would save a shitload of that.
That’s uncompressed, the compressed archive is just over 102GB. And yes, you can download the entirety of Wikipedia as a single archive, and they tell you how on Wikipedia itself. The easiest way is probably Kiwix.
And not just the whole thing, either, you can download specific topics, or the top 100 articles, or the whole thing in simple English without pictures, etc.
I honestly don’t know, I’ve only downloaded the archive with the simple English articles and no pictures. that was only like 900mb or so. I imagine there’s some sort of image optimization that’s done on all images uploaded to the site. And when you think about it, most articles don’t actually have images with them. So the 102gb might be the whole thing.
I can say for sure that the archive does include at least some images, because it says it does. I do plan on downloading it at some point so I can make a local mirror of Wikipedia with my Raspberry Pi, but I haven’t bought a drive for it yet and don’t want to use one of the ones I have now for it because I have Ventoy and a bunch of ISOs on it.
-Elon has repeatedly stated he wants to defund and shut down all nonprofits that upset him. This includes the ACLU and Wikipedia

they’re trying to kill PBS. NPR.
Anything to prevent an informed public.
They want to make us all like their voting base in the south.
Inbred, ignorant and hateful.
