MODERATORS
Wikipedia has a bias, don't fool yourself.
Don't fool myself about what?
Reality has a bias
Yes, exactly. Anything perceived as "neutral" or "nonbiased" is just your bias being reflected.
How so?
The specific methods that Wikipedia uses to determine whether a source is reliable causes it to have a status quo bias towards capitalist neoliberalism. There's also a bit of consent manufacturing that occurs on sources and controversial topics.
Don't get me wrong, Wikipedia is great in most situations. However when it comes to controversial (especially political) topics, look elsewhere.
