yeah that comment is kind of tone deaf, appealing to American's who are clearly under strain and factually fighting a cyber and information civil war, while not even discussing any shared responsibility to create a back up or alternative... Thanks guys.
How about you guys show the receipts of how much you have personally donated to both? American here, I have donate to Wikipedia yearly (not much, but I always do).
I feel like this lack of shared responsibility is partially why we're in this mess.
I live in a country that historically goes along with whatever fucking bullshit idea births out of America's flaccid anus of selfish corporate group think. So you can fuck right off with that shared responsibility bullshit. Whenever a reciprocating need for help is required, it always comes with fucking conditions and usually means having to gobble your country's shitcunt cock and balls for some ridiculous payback arrangement that ultimately costs more than the fucking "favour" you did us. Then that festering anal polyp of a child rapist president of yours has the fucking audacity to claim that your allies in that fucking travesty of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, took a back seat while your boys murdered, razed and profited off of it all. You can fuck right off with "pay your fair share" utter nonsense. American prosperity is paid for by the blood of it's friends. Now that you're going through a rough bit you're precious about being asked to preserve information that is to the benefit of humanity and accuse someone of being tone deaf...fuck off.
And you somehow don't feel responsible for the actions of your own government but blame Americans for the actions of their government?
Do you not see the hypocrisy there?
but these archives and sources of information are a shared resource for everyone, we all have a responsibility to pitch in and help support them.
Placing the blame squarely at our [US] feet is misguided and seeds your own responsibility to civilization to "flaccid anus of selfish corporate group think."
Like how can you disagree with that? I'm not excusing any actions, or defending the choices, again, I donate to Wikipedia every time they ask - we all are responsible to protect and defend this knowledge, you can't call on the people of the United States alone to do it.
