2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Since Trump is here[edit]

Shouldn't we also add folks like Jair Bolsonaro and Viktor Orbán? For the record, both of them are on the [[category:Para-facists]] right now, but I don't think they are any better than Trump. Maybe Orbán was more successful on his attempts to erode the democratic institutions in his country, but if Trump and Bolsonaro failed so far that's not because they didn't try.

I think if you can make a good case for it on their individual pages, then feel free to change it. I think it's clear with Trump, and I made a case for it here: Fascism#Attempts at definition. Bongolian (talk) 03:14, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
Fair enough. It's already on my ever-growing to-do list. Maybe next year. I miss having more time to edit here... GeeJayK (talk) 03:22, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Should we add red fascists as a category?[edit]

I feel like we should, since it'd be a unique category for dictators who don't fit the category of fascists, like Stalin, Mao, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un, Pol Pot, among others. I know we already have the categories "dictators" and "authoritarians", but it's just a suggestion. Rational Dude (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Category bloat[edit]

Many of the people in this category are already in the Alt-right category so adding this category is redundant also some people on here aren't even fascists for example Dick Cheny who is just a neocon --Reichtangle (talk) 08:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
