Wikipedia is incredibly biased, ie look at any gamergate or trump article and tell me thats an objective encylopedia. Total joke.

I was reading Zizek. At some point he uses a Wikipedia definition. I literally threw it out the window, fuck knows where it is now, probably landed a truck.

For you to come along and ask such a naive question, I don't even know what to tell you.
