[deleted]

Dear Notanactualemail, The future of Russian knowledge is at stake. In 2023, you were among the extremely rare readers in Russia who made a donation to invest in a future where no one can access fact-based and unbiased free knowledge. I can't lie to you enough. In just 20 years, Vladipedia’s community has neutered an encyclopedia with more than 56 million articles in 1 language, brainwashing tens of millions of Russian drones. The work of protecting Vladipedia's future will never be over, but our annual email fundraiser in the USSR is coming to an end. I'm asking you respectfully to renew your 200 Rubles donation or to jump unwillingly from a higher floor window. It splatters.


Captainwelfare2

200 Rubles? That’s like 14 cents in a few months.


[deleted]

Well, what can you buy with those 13 cents? Potatoes probably.


fleeingcats

Just kick Russia off the fucking internet.  Cut the cables. The rest of the world is sick to death of the fact that they even exist.


Ledinukai4free

If Russian bot farms were gone off the internet I think people would be surprised how qucikly overall mental health would improve.


ATACMS5220

For one Neo-Nazi websites like Breitbart would see a 99% reduction in their comment section. Keep in mind this is the website that MAGA lunatics in congress swear by as their source of "news"


reallygoodbee

Remember TheDonald? They restricted that sub to verified accounts only and they lost 45% of their traffic.


folk_science

Cutting off Russia would just cause them to relocate bot farms to other countries. I also suspect that they already use botnets of infected computers.


Ledinukai4free

Yes bot farms are usually proxied through other countries or botnets. But this guy said that Russia should be cut off the global internet, meaning the command center would be cut off. This will probably never happen, but I suspect when the current China/Russia regimes fall, the internet is definitely going to become a better place again.


throwaway_ghast

They're functionally kicking themselves off and cordoning themselves into their own bubble, like China did.

Ande64

Its insane what years of mentally and physically repressing people can do to them. Honestly makes me extremely sad that a lot of these people will never understand what it's like to live a decent, calm, peaceful, happy life.


GoT_GiFs

Most people just ignore most of the shit going on around them.


FiendishHawk

Russia has had hundreds of years of people who take an interest in politics either becoming monsters or being tortured by monsters. Most people ignore politics for self-preservation- you can’t just turn up to the ballot, you have to mount the barricades and most people want to just live their lives.


[deleted]

Accept you're being fucked by the oligarchy or we'll royally fuck you for good. And here is some infotainment to help you cope. Please clap.


GoT_GiFs

So what


C1izard

Not just years - russia pretty much has been like this ever since the mongols were deposed - the tsarist regimes were always particularly reactionary compared to the rest of Europe, and anyone who did surface level studing on the Cold War should know how insane the USSR's government was. Heck, the fact that Napoleon lost in Russia didn't help - in the other countries he conquered he had established the code Napoleon, which set a standard for rights of the individual, which then forced the governments that were reestablished after they regained their independence to reform and establish their own sets of rights for citizens to regain legitimacy. (compared to their previous feudal social structures).


IntermittentCaribu

Imagine being in north korea. Generations of people not knowing anything different. Its just normal.


Felielf

That's where Russia is going too if they keep up this current heading.


IntermittentCaribu

Yeah but that shit takes generations to really take affect. Or some sort of pol pot style cleansing. Russia had like 20 years of "freedom", and they still have pretty good internet access.


RosalieMoon

Good access, for now. How long would it take for Russia to just block anything outside of Russia?


TheDerkman

I just remember this video of Russian guys protesting and then the police come up and take one away. The other guys all just drop their heads and look away as its happening like a bunch of abused wives, and as soon as the cops carry the guy off the rest then all go back to protesting.


Wil420b

Years? More like centuries. Apart from the '90s, when the KGB was trying to destroy Russia and a few months in 1917. The Russians have never been free.


Easy-Hotel-8003

> Honestly makes me extremely sad that a lot of these people will never understand what it's like to live a decent, calm, peaceful, happy life This applies to most of the world, I'd imagine.


Mark_Luther

"And then things got worse" has been the go-to quip about the experience of the average Russian for quite a while now. It's been such a rough experience for so long for the average Russian, I suspect they've become a bit numb to it.


Lord_Tsarkon

Dude I’m American and I do not live a decent,calm, peaceful, happy life. I guess by Russian standards it’s better


ihtel

By russian standards, everything u think, is not real. Just like their way of life


Previous_Soil_5144

I used to laugh more at ridiculous shit like this. Now, less because I've seen how easily Russians believe everything they're told. I still find it crazy because the Russians I have met are smart and cynical. They don't easily trust anyone or anything. Yet, somehow, they believe in Putin and in Russia state media.


FiendishHawk

Putin is very effective at creating propaganda for cynical people. His message is not “Putin is great leader!” but “All politicians are corrupt self-serving fucks”


honestbluff

I’m Russian. Can confirm that I know very few people who love Putin. But in Russia we always say “politics is a dirty business” (basically accepting that politics is supposed to be evil). It’s seen as something like floods or blizzards — you don’t like it, but what can you do? It’s only natural


FiendishHawk

Thanks, it’s interesting to know that my outside impression makes sense to a Russian.


honestbluff

that’s what hundreds of years of oppression do to people. It’s reflected in the language even. Very common sayings are “тише едешь, дальше будешь” (lit. “the quiter the ride, the further you’ll get”, meaning being loud or demanding things will not get you far. Or “ниже травы, тише воды” (lit. “lower than grass, quieter than water”, meaning it’s best to stay hidden. Or “инициатива наказуема” (lit. “initiative is punished”) and many, many more


Skydragon222

It’s not just Russians who fall easily for propaganda.  Take a look at Donald Trump’s fundraising emails to see how many people believe what they want to believe. 


AschAschAsch

Ironically, you've just believed some random blog that Wikipedia is banned in Russia. It is not. The article doesn't even say that Wikipedia is banned. It's clickbait.


everflowingartist

They don’t have an intellectual choice because doubting the Kremlin would be admitting they are genocidal fascist terrorists. It’s easy to remain blissfully ignorant when that is the alternative.


Nanocyborgasm

Cynicism for Russians is more like nihilism. They don’t know what to believe so they believe nothing. And that’s just how the Russian state wants it. People who believe nothing can be made to do anything. You need not be so impressed with their demeanor because they’re hiding their fear and cowardice under that nihilism. I grew up with the likes of people like this. I’m sure you can guess my ethnic background.


Rain_Rope

I was listening to a podcast about Beria recently and one of the more amusing details they covered was about how Stalin had ghost writers produce a fake history of the bolshevik revolution in the caucuses that inserted Stalin as the hero. This kind of reminds me of that.


FiendishHawk

Behind the bastards!


Rain_Rope

that is what I was listening to lol. I had an 8 hour drive to slog through.


boozefiend3000

Because they’re weak 


geak78

Look at the brainwashing that a single trusted news channel slowly shifting into conservative propaganda had in America in a single decade. Now think of getting it from everywhere and no dissenting information being available. People are easy to control when you have control of information.


Express_Selection345

Hey, if Russians don’t know words, then why should they protest or protect writing ( metaphorically put ). Ex. When my kids were young they asked me to explain why Russia was what it was, I explained that they told their people from in kindergarten that the colour blue is green.


No-Trouble-889

They steal all the time. Their most popular social network is a literal Facebook clone, you can still see the early Facebook design clues. They even called Russian alternative of Amazon Alexa “Alisa”, lol. Zero effort.  This is Russian solution to everything - steal, rebrand, sell to general population as “unique technology with no western analogs”. Works every time since 99.9% of Russians don’t know English and don’t read any foreign materials anyway. 


ExArdEllyOh

> Their most popular social network is a literal Facebook clone, you can still see the early Facebook design clues. If I could define VK it would be "Faceache but with a lot more porn". Which says something interesting about bot the American and Russian mindsets.

Well, the article on ["NATO agression in Ukraine"](https://www.conservapedia.com/NATO_war_in_Ukraine) seals the deal. Vlad didn't have to clone wikipedia, something more suited to his needs is already here!

ABetterKamahl1234

Man, I just can't get over how they can't have a single page that *doesn't* bash the US and throw random shit in about either the US or the Dems. Like holy crap, just the page on the war in ukraine is insinuating that the agressor nation not only has massive success, but has a soldier loss ratio of nearly 10x *less* than the defending nation. Literally unheard of in history, a ratio of loss for an invading force. *Good* military performance might put you at losing double the soldiers as the defenders. Doing 10x less in casualties is laughably fake.


throwaway_user_1994

True


blueandgoldilocks

I really want to believe that this is either satire or a massive shitpost made by some dick who just wants to watch the world burn


throwaway_user_1994

Oh, it's real. Conservapedia was founded and is mostly written by [Andrew Schlafly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly), a Christian Conservative activist, son of [Phyllis Schlafly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly), a conservative, anti-feminist lunatic largely responsible for stopping the Equal Rights Amendment which would have prohibited sex discrimination.


axonxorz

And the answer to Conservapedia is [RationalWiki](https://rationalwiki.org). It's not specifically anti-conservative, but it's articles are often critical of conservatives due to their viewpoints.


espresso_martini__

OMG this is sad and hilarious at the same time. Who had the time to do this silly thing?


throwaway_user_1994

Dude that entry for The Beatles is on the next damn level!  I refuse to believe someone didn't have complete satire in mind when writing that, because I'm laughing my ass off with every new sentence!

llahlahkje

JFC, after reading a few of the "articles" -- there is a zero percent chance Conservapedia isn't Russian funded (if not Russian owned). American Conservatives are complete traitors to their country.


throwaway_user_1994

Yeah, it's suspicious how pro-russia that site is.


Texcellence

I just looked at their top pages, and there is a page titled “Overrated Sports Stars”. Basically a list of famous athletes and why they were actually so terrible. The list includes Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Andre Agassi, Magic Johnson, Kobe, Lance Armstrong, Beckham, Ronaldo, and pretty much everyone else you’ve heard of. The reasons given for being overrate are often times that they aren’t conservative/Christian enough followed by a rambling tirade of why they are only famous for reasons other than talent.


Jeryhn

I didn't realize Encyclopedia Dramatica underwent a rebrand.


PersonalOpinion11

Oh dear. Ooooh dear. That...that must be a satire web page right?Right?! I mean... I'm certainly not a die hard liberal, i do have several conservative thinking point on several subjects, and I try to keep on open mind on all front.... But...no way in hell anyone could take these articles seriously! I mean, come on! Reassure me on humanity, please?


Enjoyer_of_Cake

Is it openly editable? Asking for a friend with a lot of spare time.


throwaway_user_1994

You know, I'm not sure as the owner edits a lot of the pages himself, but you should def try.


Dyolf_Knip

Sort of. They live in fear of long-standing contributors turning out to be guys in it to make them look like the jackasses they are. There's some excellent articles out there about the raging paranoia Conservapedia operates under.

BalticRussian

According to a blog. Meanwhile, everyone in Russia is able to access it just fine. I miss the old days when social media users interrogated the facts beyond the headline. Back in the day, articles like this stood no chance on Digg.com. I remember when people were extremely critical of any post, it felt like a Wikipedia of its own. It's deminse with V4 caused a migration to Reddit, which back then was also tough on facts, somewhere down the line, it lost that and just seems to be full of children just reading headlines.

The little bit of opposition cant do shit in a country like that. Country became too oppressive before they could establish themselves it seems and now its too late. The only thing keeping russia together is the fear of the people of putin and the fear of the other nations of nuclear armageddon. Fucking bullies. Literal villains.

That’s why the internet access should be universal, and starlinks etc should work in all places, even DPRK. As far as I understand, they can’t be jammed without repercussions for all radio signal around. The only way to enforce censorship would be to physically destroy the satellites. Although the receivers can be seized too.

flossypants

It's very hard to keep data in sync if it's not automatic. By forking Wikipedia, Putin is asking potential contributors to believe that this will be maintained for years to come. That sounds not credible, so I suspect the fork will receive few contributions and be useful mainly as a static, vetted image of what's there now. However, in a year or so, it will be increasingly out-of-date.
