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!

The blithering stupidity of attacking Russia suggests otherwise; but that's what you get for starting a land war in Asia.[edit]

So, Moscow is in Asia is it? Sophiebecause liberals 17:53, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Idiocy about attacking Russia[edit]

Yes it was incredibly stupid of him to attack Russia, but he didn't really have much of a choice, so knowing that it would probably ruin his empire, he chose to attack anyway'Legionwhat do you want from me 02:18, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Hagiography[edit]

This entire thing is a hagiography about the authoritarian destroyer of the republic and its principles (therefore putting republican aspirations back to being 'utopian') and the man who reinstated slavery, previously abolished (this is completely ignored in the article, and passed off as 'normal'). And that's serious criticism, not Ridley Scott bullshit. It needs rewriting. New world (talk) 20:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
