They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.
They don’t deserve lineages
It's part of the fascist playbook
They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.
"My lies can't be wrong if I erase all records of the truth"
sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…
Your taxes can only go towards kidnappings! /s
Just donated 50 ♥️
❤️Donated. Cash is difficult right now, but I had some crusty old crypto sitting around just shrinking every month - they make it very easy to send some crypto their way so I was happy to dump it.
Thanks errer
Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way
❤️ love you Internet Archive
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍
I donated.
Thanks for giving the link and making this an easy 1-click thing. Just donated.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of "wasteful government spending"
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.
"Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."
George Orwell, 1984
They destroy the past to sell you a future. It's coercion and extortionate.
They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.
The people want them gone.
And it’s 100% justified.
They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.
Europe here: can we have it? 😅
Ugh some asshole who’s only going to live a century depriving an endless future of historical knowledge. Musk needs to be detained and imprisoned.
I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”
Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?
The equivalent would be seeding a torrent backup.
Trying to burn digital books. Fascism in 2025.
If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I'm in.
Who else is waiting to see "DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia"?
Elon Musk is what you’d get if you gave the illusion of personality to a 4Chan troll.
Double plus ungood
Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.
Downloading and accessing Wikipedia offline through Kiwix is actually pretty easy.
noo I found pages there that where offline for years before I read a mention of them 😥
What's the size on this can I download a copy
Pedabytes, but you can help in other ways. Donating, uploading and the Archive Warrior. There may be waits to support via torrents too but I do not know.
Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.
I am not now, nor have I ever been a Christian, but shit like this makes me go Jesus Fucking Christ.
Archive.org is a critical repository of knowledge and archiving the internet. Elon has cut nothing, but damaged a ton. It is kinda incredible how many damage he has done.
Isn't it weird how "doge" just goes after anything that actually benefits people?
Well since I stopped paying federal taxes I might as well donate to the IA directly.
they already faced cyber attacks now this? i mean, what can i say that hasn't already been said? keep on fighting for democracy!
They used to burn books. Now they just defund information storage services.
Hopefully this galvanizes support for them, like anti-boycotting essentially
