One possibility is hasbara editors contributing to this.
Any form of criticism against Jewish influence is generally dismissed as anti-rational antisemitism and conspiracy theories. Another example of this is regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, which previously was explained in the article on Israel as ongoing due to "The refusal of the Arab states to absorb the Arab refugees". This is part of a more general pattern of a strong pro-Jewish bias. Instead, the article on the Talmud warns against making criticisms. However, there are almost no criticisms of Judaism.
The site has many articles dedicated to criticizing Christianity. The article on its creator Sigmund Freud alleges that "Freud is often grouped with Nietzsche and Marx as one of the great thinkers of the 19th century". Leftist psychoanalysis has been one of the more harmful pseudo-sciences, but RationalWiki alleges without presenting any evidence that it has had positive long-term effects and that "many of its adherents have much to offer scientific enquiry". Other examples of not criticizing pseudo-sciences include not mentioning the many criticisms of Marxism as being an un-falsifiable pseudo-science and not criticizing the various pseudo-sciences associated with Cultural Marxism. Ideologically based egalitarianism always takes precedence over empirical scientific results showing that individuals and groups are not always equal or empirical results otherwise contradicting political correctness. The site portrays itself as being "rational" and opposed to "pseudo-science" and "denialism", yet it often promotes exactly this, such as by promoting irrational genetics denialism and race denialism. Instead, RationalWiki only presents one point of view, said to be the "Scientific Point of View" or the "Snarky Point of View", which if there is a dispute on what this is, is apparently decided by non-scientific voting, or the complainers openly abused and ignored. Unlike Wikipedia, RationalWiki does not even pretend to adhere to a policy of "Neutral Point of View" and to include views from both sides. The editors are obviously Leftists, and of course anonymous, some of whom who have been banned even from the Left-wing Wikipedia for outstandingly bad editing, which may go some way to explain the sometimes extremely poor content of RationalWiki, such as articles with large-scale fabrications of what the claimed sources actually say.Īnother argued explanation is the influence of " spiteful mutations". Instead, RationalWiki is characterized by attempted sarcasm and outright defamatory and libellous attacks against those they consider "Far-Right", and opponents (in particular against Conservapedia) as well as engaging in leftist community building. He is on record as saying he enjoys being sued over defamations on RationalWiki.Īs leftists already control the contents of Wikipedia, there is little need for RationalWiki to restate the basic leftist arguments, since they are already stated in Wikipedia. Its licensed proprietor for taxation purposes is Trent Toulouse, who teaches Psychology in the Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is considered to be one part of the " skeptical movement". RationalWiki is a wiki originally created in response to Conservapedia.
