MODERATORS
However liberals will disregard the idea that Wikipedia isn't an unattenuated connection to pure truth out of hand. That's why I call it scripture; the idea that it has pervasive biases and inaccuracies is rejected without consideration; anything it states has considered true without possibility of question, even if the source Wikipedia is using would never be believed if it wasn't getting laundered through Wikipedia.
You seem to be painting with a very broad brush there. I've never considered Wikipedia to be free of these problems, I doubt there is any reference work that is completely objectively true.
But it tries to be better one edit at a time.
I'm generalising. You may not be guilty of this, but your average western liberal is. See, for example, other comments in this thread.
You're attaching a spiritual quality to an inanimate thing. Wikipedia doesn't "try" to be anything.
In fact, it often gets worse one edit at a time
fine, replace "it" with "the community" if the impersonal subject confuses you.
Go fuck yourself
Well the community sure as hell doesn't try to be better; if anything they work hard to entrench these problems as hard as possible.
