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 ![]() ![]() |

What's up with this article? Is a anti-colonial revolt in 30ies Congo relevant for Rationalwiki? On top of that, it's almost completely copied from this Wikipedia article. (Tell Me What To Think) and (I'll tell you what to feel) 16:11, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- I've noticed that the Wikipedia article was probably written by the same author as the Rationalwiki one. Still, is this event relevant to Rationalwiki? (Tell Me What To Think) and (I'll tell you what to feel) 16:15, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- I thought it fell under explorations of authoritarianism. Ashy Waves (talk) 17:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC) Jacquemotte's commentary seems particularly philosophical. The casualties suffered in revolts and rebellions is frequently cited as reason to avoid revolution, even of the peaceful variety (not that this one counts as a peaceful revolt), but people forget there are worse fates that death.
