You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

You know you can make a page yourself right?

Go ahead and compile a list with sources referenced and write it up according to the style guide.

People have done this repeatedly and been nuked every time. It's extremely fucking telling that all the Wikipedia true believers have clearly never actually looked into the process themselves

[-] the_fuckler@nord.pub -2 points 7 hours ago

That would be because you're supposed to contribute articles to the repository before you're allowed to just go scribbling on the walls. Authorarian and draconian, I know. A system likely devised by the CIA to oppress white people who never go outside

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 hours ago

Yeah there's always some post hoc justification for it

Life's hard when I have to have the bare minimum of rigor before vandalizing public works

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 hours ago

vandalizing public works

Lol. Calm down. Creating a Wikipedia page is not "vandalizing public works"

You're right. It's the requirement be granted editing privileges. Try to keep up. Or go read the rules before you whine. Or just stop playing dumb

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago

I don't even know what convention you think you're part of

[-] the_fuckler@nord.pub -2 points 2 hours ago

There's probably going to be a lot of that in your future. Everyone else is already used to.... you

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

Go back to reddit

You occupy the very specific cross section of Dunning-Kreuger represented by European tech liberals

[-] the_fuckler@nord.pub -2 points 2 hours ago

That's not what you think it is but I'm touched that you would chime in

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago

I don't think OP is concerned about the existence of one particular article, but rather the various systemic biases in what Wikipedia chooses to include or exclude.

"You know you can do this thing yourself right?"

Person does thing

"No you are using biased language and have to use exclusively sources which are known to repeat CIA imperialist propaganda like the Hamas rape hoax on demand."

[-] Cypher@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

Yeah articles that show capitalist and imperialists in a bad light don’t exist.

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

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

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

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

The sources referenced there should be a great start for writing the suggested article. Have at it.

which ones explicitly state that they were caused by capitalism like the point OP was making?

[-] 1Malayali@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

True. Would be good to try that and see how it is handled

Asking for the help of others who may see this: Could you help in listing major mass killings by capitalist states?

Will mention ones that I can remember now:

USAmerican regime - Kent State Uni massacre, MOVE bombing, BLM protestors murdered for protesting against the racist regime

British colonial regime in India - Jalianwallah Bagh massacre, Wagon massacre, Massacre of tribes in hilly states
If famines are included, then the Bengal famine, Madras famine, Travancore famine etc.

Mass killings in areas like Ireland n all by the British capitalist regime too

South Korean regime - Jeju island, Bodo league massacres and similar mass killings

Mass killings by Nazi Germany
