Today I figured out why academics look at Wikipedia with such distain.
​
They don’t hate the fact that anybody can edit Wikipedia. They hate who that “anybody” is: the plebians who they are made equal to in the eyes of the public. And also the people who now have access to information that would otherwise be restricted, rendering them less important and weakening their power.
​
Agree with me or pay jizyah.

this is less drama, and more pathetically sad
he has such an undeveloped set of social skills and lack of awareness of the size of things it's piteous

pay jizyah
1 ProEvilOperations 2020-02-03
how much is jizyah
1 15nelsoc 2020-02-03
It's income dependent, but usually a pretty heavy tax. Part of it's purpose is to encourage converting to Islam in order to switch to paying the lighter Zakat.
1 InTheAbsenceofTrvth 2020-02-03
Yeee I'm gonna need this zakat. Do I need to bring my own turban or will you guys hook me up?
1 toomanytabsopen 2020-02-03
Turbans are only needed for work with sanitary requirements. Read a book
1 InTheAbsenceofTrvth 2020-02-03
I'll bring one just in case

Jizyah is taxation for dhimmis (tolerated non-Muslims), so nothing of your concern, Brother.
1 ProEvilOperations 2020-02-03
Ah thank you 🙏Truly Allah has great mercy. For if I were to come up with the system those infidels would burn.

Teachers and profs always said 'dont use wikipedia as source' and people would still use it and just copy the whole wikipedia source bar in their sources.
1 XannyPacquiao69420 2020-02-03
NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST COPY PASTE THE SOURCES OF WHICH YOU HAVE ABSORBED AN AMALGAM OF INFORMATION OF NOOOOO

Broke: learning what you teach
Woke: letting a student aid of color teach
Bespoke: letting a totally anonymous stranger teach

It’s like being cucked, but paying tuition for it to happen.

Good Will Hunting paid a $1.38 in late charges from the local library for an education he could have gotten for free off wikipedia
1 RichardInaTreeFort 2020-02-03
As a teacher I encourage my students to use wiki. I encourage them to source what they read but if the information is there and correct, why go somewhere else? It’s also not just anyone who can edit the majority of Wikipedia. Go try to edit a page about history and see what happens. It’s not like you’re going to go there and just see straight up lies about heavily researched subjects.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2020-02-03
I have friend who called out their teacher on it. Teacher just responded "Don't worry, i wrote all of them myself".
1 DoodleIsMyBaby 2020-02-03
i dont understand why degrees are still a thing anymore. You should just have to pay a fee to take a test proving you have the knowledge required for X title and be done with it. College is such a fucking scam anymore.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2020-02-03
Some colleges are just glorified trade schools.

The best ones are social clubs with good connections

I make my own paper so I can print out wikipedia articles.
1 Trump_FTW_88 2020-02-03
I just copy Wikipedia articles and paste them in a site that changes the words to different synonyms. Then I put the sources that are in the Wikipedia article.

Anything academic that's master's level or lower is by definition work that has to be plagiarized artfully. There is not a single topic in that whole scope of study that requires developing an original thought or idea. In fact, trying to write anything original will get you markedly worse grades. It's actually just a test on a student's ability to word vomit the same ideas.
Once you understand this. Any kind of paper becomes easy as long as you have a basic understanding of the topic. Get all your information from wikipedia and it's equivalent. Once you've finished your pretentious and completely inconsequential paper on things people have known for hundreds of years, you can just search google for books, journals, papers, etc. that cover that topic and use them as your source.
1 sonofbaal_tbc 2020-02-03
wiki is basicaly lock down by poopsockers who believes themselves to be the gatekeepers of information. They literally change the definition of common words to push agendas.

And?
1 GURBOchad 2020-02-03
I'm a muslim I can't pay jizyah
1 Why_Hillary_Won 2020-02-03
Oh no. I didn’t mean it like that.
I didn’t wish to imply that Islam was the correct religion.
Jizyah is just something I’ve appropriated on behalf of the only true religion, the Catholic Church.
Sorry for any confusion.
