...now I'm suddenly wanting to know what would happen to most of the internet if Section 230 actually does get repealed, as while social media will die and so will places like here, places like Google and Wikipedia might suddenly find themselves in a whole lot of trouble once they are suddenly required to be relied on for correct info.

Yeah but without Section 230 the Kiwi Farms probably couldn't survive.

It’s clearly documented that he made his post on 8chan’s version of /pol/, we already knew this on the same day of the attacks. I don’t know how there’s even confusion about this from people, is this libel or just plain stupidity?

Both. Standard "right side of history" bullshit. Easy to be on the "right side of history" you make up yourself.

Also his imageboard post was to 8chan but 8chan doesn't stream. He linked to his Facebook stream.

Yes, you shouldn't trust the US military. We can make Freedom of information requests if someone has died or not and will openly have. Open communications with the press. Yes, the claims of the Iranian military should be given equal weight. We had totally not paid propagandists of Islamists.
 
Personally I find the fashion of putting bureaucrats and ministers and elected officials in the same box as actual generals who actually do things a bit silly, actual history books don't tend to do this, but Wikipedia insists on it.
Drumpf is head of state and all so he ought to be in there, at the very top even, but Pete Hesgeth and the like? He ain't "commanding" shit, it's simply inaccurate, may as well stick the Prince Regent as Napoleon's arch nemesis.

It makes sense in the articles on medieval wars where local lords had an actual impact on militaries, but including every single civil servant in modern wars is ridiculous. Unfortunate for us, Wikipedia was ground zero for the wikibox formatting and no one has offered anything better.

The president can be argued, he's the supreme commander of the army in the US. But others are just part of civil administration, not commanding officers. But that's not the point, wikitrannies want the bureaucrats in so later they can say "look, senator bloodfeast is the warmonger that was involved in the war, just check the infobox!"

buggery.png

When the Woggle-bug is first introduced in The Marvelous Land of Oz, he is portrayed as having a charming disposition and a quirky and somewhat eccentric personality. He has a love of big words, Latin phrases, philosophy, and colorful puns relating to his immediate situation ("Were I to ride upon this sawhorse he would not only be an animal, he would become an equipage for he would then be a horse and buggy"). These puns cause his companions a great deal of distress, in response to the aforementioned pun, "[T]he Scarecrow gave a gasp and the Tin Woodman stopped short and looked reproachfully at the Woggle-Bug. At the same time the Sawhorse loudly snorted in derision; and even the Pumpkinhead put up his hand to hide the smile, which because it was carved upon his face, he could not change to a frown." Puns have been regarded as a sign of superior education and Baum uses the Woggle-Bug's puns repeatedly to highlight his conceitedness regarding his own education. Later the Tinman even threatens to murder the Woggle-Bug if he does not stop using his puns to show off. He is very proud of his education, and wants to put it to good use. He is always courteous and polite whatever the situation, and clearly cares about the well-being of others. In the Sunday comics series through the following year, the Woggle-Bug is depicted as leading his companions out of trouble, displaying his wisdom, and also doing random acts of kindness for the poor citizens of America.

I suspect the page for this now obscure character from L. Frank Baum's Oz books needs some balance. I've learned that it was mostly written by a deranged, mentally-challenged cow here who makes terrible art about her husbando, the Woggle-Bug, having adventures in a different land than Oz to "save" him from that evil country. People in the thread explain that the real character is an unlikable blowhard, and the Wikipedia description sounds more like the personality she has concocted for him in her mind. The Tinman reference is likely there solely because she hates the Tinman and the Scarecrow for mistreating the Woggle-Bug. She has posted AI art of the latter two characters meeting violent ends.

🎨 Artcow Thread 'WogglebugLoveProductions / Cynthia Hanson / Cherie Anne Hapney'

Gentlepersons all, I give you Cynthia Hanson, aka WogglebugLoveProductions, aka WogglebugLover, aka AvengingAtheist. She's a militant antitheist who loves the Wogglebug, an obscure side-character from L. Frank Baum's Oz book series. And when I say "loves," I mean "dedicated years of her life to building a TL;DR virtual shrine to a giant talking cockroach." In her own words:

Nearly the entire Oz series and fan club around it has degraded, mistreated, and done harm to the Wogglebug's image in every way imaginable for a century and a bit more. So, therefore as...

That's just being pedantic and disingenuous. The phrase “school shooting” conveys images of Columbine, not service officers ND'ing, and using that extremely loose definition to pad the numbers is propaganda of the lowest form.

school shooting literally means "a firearm was fired in or around a school". if we wanna be technical, when it comes to perpetrators they end up getting charged with homicide charges or attempted homicide charges. Nobody gets charged for school shootings alone, there has to be something else attached to it

Extremely retarded terminology. This list even includes shit like "Former student shoots teacher then self because student feels slighted in murder suicide" and "JROTC rifle goes off on football field and no one is harmed. Students disciplined for prank." and "Disciplinary Officers weapon grabbed during breakup in school fight and goes off, one person injured no fatalities." to inflate numbers and paint the picutre that 60 gorillion kids die in mass shootings at school every week in America.

The article explicitly says they included “non-fatal accident shootings” in the list, which means that there are cases with neither casualties nor intentional discharge counted the same as Sandy Hooks simply because it involved a gun going off on school grounds or at a place hosting school functions. This is a definition cooked up by anti-gun ideologues trying to conflate radically different things so they can construct a narrative knowing the average person will be unaware of their extreme usage of technicalities. The same is done with that “statistic” of firearms being the most common cause of death for children, since they include all individuals under the age of 25 and do not separate suicides from homicides; most people think they mean grade-schoolers being shot by adults, not teenage gangbangers killing each other or young adults eating their guns, and they use that ignorance of the statistical parameters to try to convince ordinary people on their gun-grabbing with emotional arguments.

You don’t see how absurd needing armed guards in schools is? Recruiting children into the army in the middle of high school is normal to you?

That's not the point. The point is that "school shooting" makes everyone think of a guy going to school with a gun and gunning down everyone in sight. Not boogie discharging his weapon 5 miles away, with the bullet whizzing far over the school. This is the same as marking everyone with covid dying as a covid death, even though the patient also had terminal cancer and every organ was ripped apart by tumors.

School shootings are vastly exaggerated and practically advertised by the fake news and shit outlets like wikipedo that are pushing an anti-Second Amendment agenda. They're actually deliberately glorifying shooters and encouraging them by making sure that if you do a school shooting you get reputation.

Instead, these fucking losers should be ignored, and if not, any attention they get should be mockery at what absolute loser pieces of shit they are.

Even in murrica, these events are a statistical anomaly at most.
