What? You don't seem to understand.

While lefties are pro "science", they mean "soft/social sciences".
See the "march for science" they organised.

Now go to a lefty and show them that scientifically speaking, transgenderism doesn't exist, males are stronger than females, and races have biological and brain differences.
You'll be banned from google and attacked by antifa so fast you won't have time to say "so much for the tolerant left".

They love marxist-corrupted social sciences that go along with their agenda. They're fucking moralists, if you put them in front of a biologist/geneticist, they'll start yelling.

>>62146177

They're no more anti-hard science than right-wingers that think that evolution is a lie and that global warming is a conspiracy.

Oh, and if you go far enough right, you get classic left-wing anti-science stuff too, like anti-GMO, anti nuclear and anti-vaccines.

You don't need to be leftist or right-winger to be anti-science, rule of thumb is that most people are fucking stupid and will swallow any "red pill" their friends share on facebook.

Not an argument.

My original argument is that I cannot trust Wikipedia because they are not "neutral" nor "centrist" nor "open to anything", they are clearly left wing, and have their left wing bias, one of them being anti-hard sciences.
You obviously cannot disprove it.

>>62146201
Good one. Too bad those evangelic anti science right wingers you are describing all died out with bush and are completly irrelevant now. On the other hand all lefties are race deniers

>>62146232
The discussion is whether left-wing bias is inherently anti-science or not, you claim it is, everyone else claim that it isn't. You've failed to prove the correlation.

>>62146225
>i don't see a problem with this
While it is true and efficient, it is not an argument per se.

>Too bad those evangelic anti science right wingers you are describing all died out with bush and are completly irrelevant now
No, they just turned harder to the right during Obama with the ridiculous birther conspiracy, and now they march alongside literal nazis claiming that they are the last defenders of free speech and liberties without seeing the irony in that.

>>62146240

>The discussion is whether left-wing bias is inherently anti-science or not
Yes, and I claim it is, and even gave a few examples of hard-science proven things that lefties won't accept.

The "counter argument" has been "well, people on the right side are studip too!" which is not an argument.

>everyone

Not an argument as there are plenty of people on the left that don't feel that way.

Seeing how they cite authors that "leftist" would traditionally disagree with, I would say that it's not. The article on IQ and Race in the US clearly states that blacks come out worse than whites and asians.

>>62146303
>you belong to that sect as well?
Well, seeing how the temperature station 500 meters from my house has recorded the temperature every day for 100 years show that temperatures has risen with 1.2 degree Celsius on average (with 95% CI) and how see levels have actually risen with almost 2 meters causing people to abandoning their houses along the shores, yes, I have no doubt that global warming is real.

No, right-wing politicians where I'm from clearly believe that it's not getting warm at all because it's clearly still snowing. One of them, inspired by what happened over the pond, even threw a snowball in parliament.

People clearly deny that it's getting warmer all together, just look at Ted Cruz and his retarded graph he brings with him all the time, that just happens to start at the last El Nino.

Take the Pizzagate article for just one example. It's described as a "debunked" conspiracy theory, but it doesn't actually say how it's been debunked, and the sources are just a circle-jerk of MSM articles that give each other as sources.

I'm not saying it should say Pizzagate is true instead, just that it shouldn't say it's debunked or give bullshit articles, or there shouldn't even be a page about it on the site in the first place. Instead, they're just spreading outright lies and locking the article to prevent it being actually corrected.

Wikipedia has lost all credibility and is not a reliable source of information. It's extremely biased.

>>62146562
I would say that the fact that there actually isn't a fucking basement there would make it debunked, but of course you're going to cry about muh MSM media like the little bitch you are.

Not every wild fucking conspiracy out there deserves a thorough discussion. You don't see 120 articles on why Kim Jong-un actually isn't the literal sun god that invented hamburgers.

>Pizzagate
Sorry, but you're going to have to do better than that if you want me to take you seriously. When you make a claim, you have to support the claim with evidence. You don't get to make a claim and have it be considered true until debunked. /pol/ has never had any evidence that there's a child prostitution ring for ancient evil god worshipping elites running out of a pizza place.

I'm pretty sure you don't even know the details of Pizzagate. But aside from that, the owner of the pizza place said himself that there was a basement in a past interview.

>Not every wild fucking conspiracy out there deserves a thorough discussion. You don't see 120 articles on why Kim Jong-un actually isn't the literal sun god that invented hamburgers.
That's fine. Like I said, maybe there shouldn't be an article on it in the first place. That would be preferable to spreading outright lies.

>>62146667
>Like I said, maybe there shouldn't be an article on it in the first place
Seeing how a large number of Americans actually believe that Hillary ran/runs a child pornography ring, and seeing how a guy actually showed up with a fucking rifle and the news reported on this, this justifies an article.

>That would be preferable to spreading outright lies.
Dude, fuck off. The only lie spread is the conspiracy in the first place.

>>62146620
That's all bullshit and there's evidence to debunk those false debunking claims. For example, the pizza place owner said himself that a basement exists. Sure, the Pedosta brothers are involved in cooking, but that in no way means code words aren't being used in the emails. And then of course there are plenty of more things Pizzagate investigators have uncovered that they don't even bother to mention there.

Oh but of course, the 100s of studies that show human influenced climate change is a very real thing is all false and *soft*-science, despite the fact that you have empirically sound proof for climate change and there is nothing proving IQ, however it is measured, is genetically tied to "race".

The problem with Wikipedia is many topics can only be edited by certain moderators. Meaning the text will depend on their biases and knowledge. What happens when biased moderators take over? Look at what happened to /r/politics in and after summer 2016. It's as if someone pressed a switch. It's basically r/hillaryclinton.

But the most prominent example to me of bias in Wikipedia (and why it disgusts me) is the topic about MH17, which I've spent easily a thousand of hours on. Ever since after the crash, wiki used information from a site called Bellingcat in all languages (!). Why did they use some site (Bellingcat is literally a rebranded ex-blogger) as credible source? It's because the western media wrote articles about Bellingcat. Now suddenly Bellingcat became credible because western media cited the site. But neither the media nor wikipedia verified or questioned Bellingcat's articles. And we know how credible western media can be (coverage of Trump). This is how fake news are made and spread... But it all, including everything surrounded about MH17, is a part of a large geopolitical game.

20 dollars last year. Might do it again this year. As biased as it is on sociopolitical articles, you probably shouldn't be getting your news from an encyclopedia. It's more useful on math/cs/other science subjects.

Nope. When they renamed Bradley Manning into Chelsea Manning I realized that this site is dominated by leftist ideologists.

That's the thing, Wikipedia is extremely open to different viewpoints, and if there's an article you disagree with for some PARTICULAR reason, you can VERY easily edit it. They have a well developed arbitration committee and process for arguing for hot topic articles, if you look through its history I guarantee you that nobody would be able to find an example of partisan bias.

The admins bend over backwards to appease to conservatives, literally. See shit like the admins allowing cuckservative to exist after several AfDs (Although it EXPLICITLY breaks the rules against neologisms).

But the problem is, not only do those people never actually try to edit Wikipedia pages well, they simply assume Wikipedia is censoring them. Go ahead, go to conservapedia if you want to see "truths" specifically catered to your political alignment.

Social sciences have essentially turned into a liberal echo chamber, to the point that they even manage to sneak in some of their ideology into their papers and hence it has become a joke due to it's lack of actual interaction with new ideas. Not that the same wouldn't happen if they were right-wing, but it's clear that they are denying scientific evidence of the differences between genders, races in terms of physiology and psychology because it doesn't fit their narrative.

>>62154283
And as for physiological evidence of the differences between genders, that's literally self-evident by the hip-to-waist ratios of men and women, the fact that the average woman have less muscle mass than the average man and hence less strong and are slower on average. It's basic gender dimorphism. I have no hard feelings toward women at all or people of other races. I just think we should add to our scientific knowledge in any way possible that is ethical.
