I hope that you've figured out my name by now.

Rants from my soapbox

[edit]

The reversal of right and wrong

[edit]

It appears that wrongdoing and wickedness in the politics, business and social doings in America have been more rampant since the first inauguration of Barack Obama than ever before. It seems to mirror the wrongdoing and wickedness that was rampant in the Kingdom of Judah in Isaiah's lifetime. In response to the wrongdoers and the wicked, I quote the following from Isaiah 5:20:

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil,
 who change darkness into light, and light into darkness,
 who change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!"

"Feelin'" from Van Halen's Balance album captures a bit of my frustration:

"Now black is white and white is black
 Got politicians smokin' crack
 And John Paul's all bulletproofed
 And it puts me through the roof"

The recent political ascendancies of Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen and various others seem to portend a return to what is true and good...but it remains to be seen.

Media bias, post-truth politics and fake news

[edit]

It is my conclusion from my own observations since the early 1990s that most mainstream American entities that define and identify media bias and post-truth politics are entities that either actually purvey those things or support such entities. As a result, I regard those entities as purveyors of fake news.

  • It seems to me that Steve Tesich, who apparently coined the term post-truth, was a (perhaps unwitting) supporter of entities that practice post-truth politics.

It is my humble opinion that a WP:VERIFY crisis of as-yet indeterminable but significant magnitude for Wikipedia has been created by:

  • an apparent general embrace of the aforementioned purveyors of fake news by the Wikipedia community as a whole (thereby inverting WP:RS)
  • various actions of various Wikipedians (including various administrators) within the encyclopedia for which I can discern no purpose other than to hide facts the publishing on Wikipedia of which could result in negative repercussions for the ideologies to which they adhere - actions such as [A] reversion of various edits that didn't violate Wikipedia policies (including one or two of my own), [B] what were reported there, [C] what were reported there, and [D] the categorization of various truth-telling persons and entities as purveyors of conspiracy theories (increasingly evidenced at Category:American_conspiracy_theorists)

But hey, I'm just one eccentric middle-aged Wikipedian. What do I know?

Violations of user page standards

[edit]

I am aware that I am violating some of the generally accepted standards of conduct that govern Wikipedia user pages. I intend to eventually make this space compliant.
