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!

Let's delete this thing right away.[edit]

I don't think this category is useful or desirable.

  • It's defined as "mostly leftist" which may be appealing for many here (including me), but is part of intelligence. Good judgment, maybe. Intelligence? Nope.
  • It's irrelevant. Other recently active categories "right of reason" and "left of reason" do the same thing, but focus on the nut cases, more of our mission.
  • It's elitist and I get exhausted with just the elitism in my own head.
  • It sounds like it's more about traits similar to hair color than about real things that matter here.
  • It doesn't play into the snark that is the more RW-appropriate way to be elitist and judgmental (i.e. it's not "dumb fuck")
  • Also, I don't like some of the early additions and that makes me grumpy. MarmotHead (talk) 01:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Stupid and subjective, made by redlink account who I don’t know. I will delete immediately. 🎄Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano🎄Ask about our holiday specials! 01:21, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm not a big fan either. Too subjective and political in the way Catgrrl seemingly wishes to apply it. Knight CommanderIn ServiceTo HerGoatness 01:22, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Okay, Duce did already, while I was dealing with the edit conflict. Knight CommanderIn ServiceTo HerGoatness 01:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
