What's that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 120 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure just saying it is terrorism.

Try saying youll "doxx and target" UHC C suite and see how that goes. Theyll shove you in the same spot as luigi and name a hotline after you

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

This could be done in literally like 50 minutes.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

There’s a Luigi hotline?

But I'm Trump's America, that's OK, as long as you're a Nazi.

Bring out your punchin' fists. It's time for a good ol' fashioned fash bash.

The slideshow says the group’s “targeting methodologies” would include creating fake Wikipedia user accounts to try to trick editors into identifying themselves by sharing personal information or clicking on malicious tracking links that can identify people who click on them. It is unclear whether this has begun.

What a bunch of complete dipshits. That being said, there are ways to request yourself to be allowed to use a VPN when editing if these fascist threats intimidate you.

Can’t have anybody spreading the truth now, can we?

Reality is just a liberal conspiracy!

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Reality is a scam made up by Big Philosophy to sell more philosophy.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 118 points 3 weeks ago

Perhaps the 'heritage foundation' needs some of it's own medicine. These people are domestic terrorists who are traitors to their country.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 52 points 3 weeks ago

We need another brave group like that furry hacker group that pissed them off so much that they flew off the handle. Except I vote the group that does it doesn't make the same mistake as the last one by contacting them afterwards.

[-] fnrir@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I mean... What's stopping us, random Lemmy users, from making SiegedSec 2.0? If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Maybe just dox Heritage Foundation members right back ...

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 44 points 3 weeks ago

You can just go to their website. They aren't hiding.

But they're also the friends and scions of the mega-wealthy, put in these positions specifically to fuck with the lower classes. If they're feeling a bit of impunity right now, you can hardly blame them.

[-] slingstone@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I would think Luigi Mangione and what he represents might make them nervous.

In case anyone doesn't know, you can download all of Wikipedia of you have 120GB of space. You can download a whole bunch of wikis straight off Kiwix.

I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge

Wikipedia isn't just useful as a repository of information. Its useful because editors are constantly adding and refining the information within. Downloading a singular instance of the site is like owning an Encyclopedia. Diminished utility year-by-year.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

True, but it depends who's going the refining. If they start censoring or changing facts, then the static instance on your hard drive has huge value.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Fortunately they don't on Wikipedia

It would be a real shame if our furry overlords or some other group retaliated against the heritage foundation

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

Our furry overlords are not enough, we need a team of Luigis.

Sounds like a terrorist threat to me. Unfortunately, our next administration is in bed with the terrorists.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 3 weeks ago

In June, a panel of Wikipedia editors declared the Anti-Defamation League a “generally unreliable” source of information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

And there was an outcry this fall among some Jewish scholars and pro-Israel activists over edits to Wikipedia’s entry for Zionism to add references to “colonization.”

So basically the usual zionist hostility towards logical conclusions based on mountains of credible evidence. Except taken to 11.

roadmap for fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism

Extremely unfun fact: Zionism and the aggressively counterfactual defense of it is the number one cause of ACTUAL antisemitism in the world.

Some people who have never been bigoted before start at justified outrage at the atrocities committed by the fascist apartheid regime in charge of Israel and go down rabbit holes conflating Israel and all Jewish people, leading to some of the most disgusting conspiracy theories in existence.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Militant zionism is also great at creating terrorists

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Absolutely!

All kinds of violent suppression is, but the sheer scale, audacity and inhumanity as well as the complicity of most of the richest and most powerful countries in the world makes for an especially potent recipe for the kind of trauma and feelings of helplessness that leads to the extreme radicalization of oppressed people

Do you have a source about the Zionism thing? Because antisemitism was alive and well for most of western history. And for me personally seeing Israel starve a bunch of children in Gaza make me hate Israel / IDF, not the Jewish baker down the street.

The entire US conservative establishment is waging a holy crusade against anyone who opposes their Israeli alter ego's Biblical bloodlettings. You'd think they had no problems to handle at home.

[-] Ransack3@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for reminding me to donate to Wikimedia, almost forgot to do it.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 40 points 3 weeks ago

Can you smell the freedom?

[-] cupcakezealot 40 points 3 weeks ago

basically the same thing they did to abortion doctors like dr tiller.

[-] prole 11 points 3 weeks ago

The same thing that they will continue to do to abortion doctors.

[-] cupcakezealot 10 points 3 weeks ago

Heritage Foundation plans to doxx and target Wikipedia editors in service to Zionism

Kinda burying the lead with that headline.

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I put on a robe and a ~~wizard~~ red hat. I gotchu wiki

Edit: I also went to donate again. Let's hope this causes a storm for these assholes. Streisand effect kinda thing, wiki is probably humanity's single greatest altruistic/collective achievement.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

Made a note to donate on payday.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

I always give to Wikipedia. I’m poor as shit, but anytime I see that banner they gonna get some money.

NOTHING has been as useful for me in the last 20 years. I have learned so much I’ve forgotten over half of it.

I’m a hillbilly who has no education past around the 5th grade. It has been invaluable to me. I wouldn’t be who I am without it. Honestly without the internet as a whole, but especially Wikipedia.

A rare kind of encyclopedia that makes you more ignorant and/or angry the more of it you read, regardless of topics.

So how do these idiots plan to solve the fact that many editors are not in fact based in the US. Just move edition these articles to any other country?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
