A website dedicated to debunking misinformation and spreading a liberal version of
politics which amuses conservatives because we find it HILARIOUS that
liberals got so pissed off by junk such as
Conservapedia so as to start their own version of it.(yes, yes, i know that it was conservapedia editors who started RationalWiki, but you get the point.)
Their information on pseudoscience and conspiracy theories is usually excellent, and they're fully willing to call something (such as homeopathy or other alt-med) out as bullshit without getting caught up in trying to be all "encyclopedic" like
Wikipedia does.
However, their information on
politics is VERY left-leaning. They use
ad-hominems and
strawmen to misrepresent and degrade anybody even SLIGHLTLY
right-of-center, which is funny because they have fine articles about such logical fallacies. They have a tendency to conflate two unrelated things (ex: NoFap and
neo-Nazis) so as to make fun of/ mock one of the things in question (NoFap in this circumstance). While a better name would be leftyWiki (remove all the sensible
stuff from the wiki in this case), they do have the sense to criticize communism and
socialism.
What's funny is how they continually call
Donald Trump an anti-semite, despite the fact that his daughter is a Jew (and so is his son-in-law and grandkids), and that he's had the most pro-
Israel administration in decades. (Their other criticism about his idiocy at times is on point.)
Stonetoss : *makes amusing comic about how no-fap gives you
crazy powers*
RationalWiki : gotEEM!!! he's totally parroting supposed
Neo-
Nazi stances about how not fapping is a white man's thing (self control and shit). this means he's a NAZI!
