The specific methods that Wikipedia uses to determine whether a source is reliable causes it to have a status quo bias towards capitalist neoliberalism. There's also a bit of consent manufacturing that occurs on sources and controversial topics.

Don't get me wrong, Wikipedia is great in most situations. However when it comes to controversial (especially political) topics, look elsewhere.

Posting rules:

NSFW: NSFW content is permitted but it must be tagged and have content warnings. Anything that doesn't adhere to this will be removed. Content warnings should be added like: [penis], [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged.
