Sam Harris[edit]

Harris's political acumen goes further still. "Given a choice between Noam Chomsky and Ben Carson, in terms of the totality of their understanding of what’s happening now in the world, I’d vote for Ben Carson every time," Harris stated. "Ben Carson is a dangerously deluded religious imbecile... the fact that he is a candidate for president is a scandal, but at the very least he can be counted on to sort of get this one right. He understands that jihadists are the enemy.”

Yes, the link in the last line leads to "xenophobia". So you sit in the café, perhaps in Paris, and a Jihadist comes along. He shouts "allahu akbar", breaks out the bomb trigger, people run for cover. And you sit there and exclain: "Nah! Don't be such xenophobes!"

By now Sam Harris' article is completely lopsided. After a halfway decent introduction it claims:

Even some of Harris's fans feel his obsession with Muslims has taken him to some pretty bad places.

"Some fans" would be Fox-News style "some people say", I guess. An "obsession" is of course a SJW codeword used whenever someone is occupied with any subject they disapprove of. In reality, Sam Harris was "obsessed" with a wide variety of subjects over the last ten years he is in the public: ranging from Christianity, spirituality, morality, free will, and more as his bibliography reveals. As it is normally the case, an author will go on book tours and give talks on whatever subject is the latest. His recent book is on Islam, hence this is the recent topic. In addition, spats with the Regressive Left kept the topic even more in the public than usual. I may add, I don't agree with Sam Harris in matters of foreign affairs, and obviously side with Noam Chomsky, whose views are much more nuanced than he's given credit for.

Social Justice[edit]

[...] Levels of analysis is an excellent way of understanding how sociological forces create oppression and privilege. From this viewpoint, society is separated into layers in order to effectively minimise inequality and maximise social justice. Additionally, explaining the concept of many interacting levels helps to combat criticisms of the methods deployed to curb oppression, e.g., positive discrimination, and other interventions, since many critiques are based on misunderstandings of the causes of oppression. In other words, levels of analysis divides culture into, at the bottom, people, and at the top, society, and, perhaps most importantly, clarifies the causal mechanisms behind oppression. [...]

... this one annoys me for a while. Levels of analysis goes to a science concept proper, but of course no such thing is used for this oppressor/oppressed law school hogwash. The link to Marr's tri-level hypothesis is even more spurious. As if Kimberlé Crenshaw and the likes ever simulated anything. This is a straight joke article that underscores everything wrong with postmodernism, like passing off their nonsense ideas as science and otherwise having to offer such profound insights as "So at the bottom we have internalised oppression also known as self-hatred." Oh really! The computation of that must have been truly difficult! The article also fails to mention Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, which are the actual frameworks used for this ridiculous rubbish. Is it ignorance that Social Justice Warriors just don't know what kind of nonsense they actually embrace, or is this not mentioned for other reasons?

Talk: Timeline of Gamergate/Archive1[edit]

Comment: [...] Doxxing I am open that I am Vordrak / Sam Smith / Matthew Hopkins. However I tend not to put my middle name C_________d online to avoid identity theft. This has been obtained by non-casual record search and I ask you to remove and (oversight) it. [...] Response: Guess what Cxxxxxxxxxd, you're not going to get your way in here either. Typhoon Typhoon (talk) 11:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

The "Cxxxxxxxxxd" was fully mentioned by Typhoon. Here he is, deliberately repeating a name "Vordrak" asked not to mention. Granted, Vordrak is a highly dubious character, too, but that doesn't make this action right. To top it off, Typhoon claimed I was attempting to "dox" David Gerard (that's the fellows name he uses everywhere) when I am very much against the practice. Unsurprisingly, Typhoon is a SJW, noted as massive hypocrites.

RationalWiki continues to endorse notable paedophile and former fascist edgelord[edit]

The invididual in question is of course the transwoman Sarah "Butts" Nyberg. What's an Edgelord?

A poster on an Internet forum, (particularly 4chan) who expresses opinions which are either strongly nihilistic, ("life has no meaning," or Tyler Durden's special snowflake speech from the film Fight Club being probably the two main examples) or contain references to Hitler, Nazism, fascism, or other taboo topics which are deliberately intended to shock or offend readers.

Of course, we are asked to believe that this was 'intended to shock or offend'. It's already known that this isn't true, since chatlogs exist from Nyberg's own site, away from 4chan. Nonetheless, this person is retweeted by the officially RationalWiki twitter account, on 23 Feb 2016, despite that the powers-that-be know about the situation for months (at least).

I don't know why this person has to be endorses with the official twitter account, despite better knowledge, but well I thought this needs to be documented somewhere, since this is what this Wiki does. Right? In case you miss out some information.
