A wiki run by people who, for some reason, are unable to express their political stance in a direct way. It's also a snarky wiki where the only article that contains absolutely no snark is Socialism.
A: I think it speaks volumes about your ideological beliefs when you gather people to write thousands of pages of tongue-in-cheek material on nearly every ideology ever known except one. That's what RationalWiki does.
B: No, that's just being rational, and you are being irrational for saying that.

Get the RationalWiki mug.A alleged rationalist and scientific website focused on fight "pseudoscience" that nowadays is mostly a website that promotes militant atheism, atheist fanaticism, atheist extremism and neopositivism, very liberal centrist views about the world pretending to be objective views of the world, massive fallacy forging out of completely non-fallacious arguments, categorizing things "pseudoscientific" that are not pseudoscientific at all, things that do not even pretend to be scientific at all and things that they disagree/dislike or do not believe in, supports that conspiracy theories cannot happen despite the number of conspiracy theories that turned out to be true, blocking and banning everyone who post anything that goes against atheism, neopositivism, and liberalism-centrism regardless how trustful are your sources and links, and a website that doesn't allow criticism of atheism nor criticism of science and deemed both of them as being "pseudoscientific", "antiscience" and "science denial" when they aren't. It is a website to be avoided, and no one should use this website for anything, nor even as source for anything.
RationalWiki is more for IrrationalWiki, and RationalWiki is the ultimate proof that rationality and irrationality are relative and subjective, because it is possible to realize that after seeing how the average RationalWiki users are in practice.

Get the creeping rationalization mug."Irrational Rationalization", or "IR", is a commonplace, non-communicable infection of cranial cognition. People whom are exposed to this infection display a number of degraded brain cells, deprivation of motor skills, and failure to comprehend logic. "IR" is displayed when one, online, debates a fairly irrelevant point to an other. Hence the name, rationalization shown by the person infected is at a very low layer of mentality. For example, when the person debates about a sort of social media plot, the host will use derogatory language, such as, "faggot", a slang term created by humans because why not. Hosts also show many usages of deus ex machina, cutting into the other conflicts of people. One more way people exhibit "IR" is by collapsing on their own statements. This is a more widespread way of IR, utilized mostly on social media sites.
"IR" has no specific cure. However, "IR" is usually prevented by:
- Thinking more frequently
- Reading a book instead of performing inane stunts for publicity
- Avoiding putting gelid objects on your head
Psychotherapy sessions may be available for diagnosing "IR", although that is very unlikely.
