INFOGALACTIC: THE NEWEST RED PILL TROJAN HORSE

      Apparently frustrated that their trolling attempts on Wikipedia have been unsuccessful, the Manosphere Game Cultists, led by blogger Theodore Beale (a.k.a. Vox Populi, Vox Day, and the Dark Lord) have set up an alternative site called Infogalatic. The Alt-Right blogs are going wild promoting the new site and encouraging their disciples to write allegedly academic entries for it.

      How this new site seems to work is like this: Suppose one searches Infogalactic, say for example, 'John F. Kennedy'. The Wikipedia entry for Kennedy will come up, unless one of the Gamers have edited it. It doesn't change any entries on Wikipedia; but allows the Red Pills to edit/rewrite the entries on Infogalactic. To put it in modern computer-tech parlance, they're using a proxy site to scrub another website.

      What the Gamers are doing is not illegal, but it is highly unethical. Aside from piggy-backing off Wikipedia, the cult is promoting Infogalactic as an objective source of information. The Planetary Knowledge Core is Infogalactic's tagline. We get a glimpse of how objective Infogalactic is going to be from Vox' recent article on the project. After complaining of Wikipedia censorship of one his entries due to "lack of correct attribution" Vox snorts that:

     "The fact that this particular contribution happens to be anathema to the radical SJWs at Wikipedia is mere happenstance, of course." And to prove his point he states that "Consider that 'Cultural Marxism' is unworthy of a page on Wikipedia, deleted and buried. But the page about gay performance artist Chris Crocker...has hundreds of edits and 53.9k of data devoted to it."

      For starters, a search on Google gives us this link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism

      Which goes to an incorporated entry with the 'Frankfurt School' where the term originated. The rather lengthy article goes into the term's original historical and philosophical meaning down its current uses in contemporary politics. As for Crocker, the fact that he's a popular celebrity explains the number of web-hits and edits that his article gets. It's just simple logic that a pop music star is going to get more attention than the historical entomology of a political/philosophical phrase.

        Now the Alphas all consider themselves men of extraordinary intelligence and they have been conniving to interject Game/Red Pill Philosophy into academic pursuits for some time. Many of them have openly stated that Game should be taught to boys and young men in the public schools (Vox and most other Gamers oppose educating females). Add into the mix that Vox---with 172 of his disciples on the project, and a half-dozen pro-Game bloggers on the editorial board---and it's hard to take any of his claims about a 'non-biased approach' seriously.

        Naturally such a bold undertaking is expensive, so Vox and his cohorts have made this special offer on their fundraising page:

       "A number of corporations and services have indicated an interest in being able to monitor corporate pages of interest to them in order to prevent false, malicious, or misleading information being spread about their organizations and clients. A limited number of pro admin seats are available."

       Yes, certainly there's nothing unbiased about selling administrative seats to special interests! Vox also tells us that objectivity will be achieved through "proven Game design principles and a sophisticated series of algorithms," which of course allows for all kinds of data skewing.

       The sad part about this project is that millions of unsuspecting readers are going to happen upon Infogalactic without realizing that it's nothing but a cultish propaganda organ disguised as an online encyclopedia. Again, the Red Pills have taken the Cultural Marxist doctrine of "the relativity of truth" and applied it to their own agendas.

  2. Trolling and rude comments are not allowed here. Save that kind of thing for Red Pill blogs where the standards of discourse are lower.

    1. Excuse me Night Wind. First of all I'm a traditionalist conservative and student of Eastern Buddhism, so I strongly disagree with "red pill"'s scientific utilitarianism, and 'frat boy' take on evolutionary psychology.

      Second, I think my discourse and knowledge of things is on easily on par with yours.

      I simply pointed out your comments are a bit defamatory and 'guilt by association', I have no interest in "game" or anything "red pill", I just have an interest in alternatives to Wikipedia which do not have the bias problems that Wikipedia has, such as pro-LGBT bias and omitting of sources.

      Say what you want about IG, but don't label me part of this "red pill" conspiracy please, and pick your poison, because I strongly suggest you read up on Wikipedia's history and you'll find it has it's own bias problems and dysfunctional community, albeit usually from a progressive perspective rather than a "alternative right" perspective as you believe IG is turning into.

      If you're interested, here's a good article from a traditionalist English conservative politician on some disreputable scandals on Wikipedia's community:

    2. P.S. I find you're blogs explanation of why the "red pill/evopsych" worldviews are flawed from a traditionalist conservative perspective to be very enlightening, however I feel a bit offended and defamed about being accused of being part of this "red pill/game" cult simply because I'm interested in a business model other than Wikipedia without instances of progressive, pro-LGBT bias, and scandals including 'out and proud pedophiles' being caught editing Wikipedia.

      Currently I find IG the 'lesser of two evils' in that regard, if that's what you want to call it.

    3. Fair enough; but I am not arguing that Wikipedia hasn't got problems. It requires source material from typically either the Corporate Media or Academia, which is Left-Wing biased. That was the issue Vox purportedly had with Wikipedia---that it doesn't recognize him or Game pseudoscience as valid source material.

      However, though, Vox is not offering a Conservative alternative, as he is claiming. Vox is anti-traditional Conservative and refers to such people as 'Cucks'. He has expressed many anti-democratic, anti-traditionalist, and anti-American views on his blog. Infogalactic, IOW, is not what it's advertised to be. The Red Pill/Game is present on Infogalactic, probably even more so than the Leftist bias on Wikipedia.

      We have to be careful about the ulterior motives in some of these alternatives. For example, many Conservatives read 'The Washington Times' without knowing that it's controlled by the Moonie Cult. It may be better than the Corporate Media, but it's still pursuing an anti-American agenda at its core.
