PSA: so basically english language wikipedia (specifically articles about holocaust in poland) has been methodically reshaped into a worthless ahistorical propaganda garbage dump by a group of extremely dedicated polish nationalists working together for years, steering wikipedia away from credible academia researchers citations into made-up academics and vicious antisemites. all to make up poles into the most valiant spotless helpers and victims and downplay the plight of the jewish people in ww2. all of it while avoiding consequences from wikipedia admins, not versed enough in eastern europe history complexities to catch them red handed.
i knew polish wikipedia was a lost project full of not-even-pretending-to-be-neutral-point-of-view history propaganda but to see that the same people pulled the same trick on the biggest wiki (and in my experience usually fairly well scrutinized) of them all is heartbreaking. also obviously if you want to learn literally anything about the holocaust english wikipedia is not your friend and will probably not be for a long time because the damage is THAT wide and far spread.
tumblr could make 1 trillion dollars an hour by setting me up in an office with a beanbag chair and when they need a new feature just poking their heads in and i’d go like “idk let them turn posts into origami”
