@ilumium Very cool! But did you intend to tag someone there?

What can you do in the face of overwhelming power, seemingly unstoppable in their thirst to crush reality itself to feed their insatiable egos and hate for the "other"?

Go to #Wikipedia. Find an article about something you know something about. Look trough it, find something that's wrong or unclear or missing. Heck, find a typo!

Then click on that Edit button – which is there on every single article, for all humans to use – and make a change! Literally!

And communicate your trust in Wikipedia

So, given all that, of course the billionaires and the far right is trying to destroy #Wikipedia! They can't memory hole every aspect of history and science they don't like if there's a well sourced, well cited, freely available repository of knowledge out there that people trust.

Reality itself has to bow down at the feet of hierarchical power. That is their final goal. They can not abide people learning any truth not twisted into a tool for their power.

Going to the moon was awe-inspiring! Flying a helicopter on Mars, mind-blowing!

But apart from the eradication of smallpox, I honestly believe #Wikipedia might be the greatest achievement by human kind!

The collaborative effort of millions of people, spending countless hours to gather, document, fact check, communicate clearly, and discuss amicably all human knowledge, to share it freely for anyone to use any way they want! No money, no fame. Not perfect. But it is the best of us!

@slotos @randahl Demanding that publicly bought hardware needs to have free software is a huge part of the solution to this massive problem.
