In this week's episode of Democrats trying to destroy the Supreme Court because they lost the advantage after decades, they're calling on Justice Samuel Alito to step down for flying a historical flag over his home last year that they now claim is a symbol of Christian nationalism, and the left-wing media is helping them.
Yes, it really is as dumb as it sounds. This is coming from the party that flies the flag of a government largely controlled by Hamas, adorns their offices with Marxist thug Che posters, and uses a donkey symbol that was used by a white supremacist group that terrorized black Americans for 130 years (the Democratic Party).
Now the political activists over at Wikipedia are getting in on the act.
Wikipedia edits on the Pine Tree Flag page are fascinating.

On Wednesday, it was just a normal flag.
On Friday, it's a now a symbol of Christian nationalism and right-wing extremism.

It's no secret to right-leaning people that Wikipedia is regularly used to shape political narratives for Democrats.
They didn't waste any time updating the Wikipedia page for the Pine Tree Flag to include a blurb about Alito in an attempt to tie him to Christian nationalism and the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Political agents invent a scandal from thin air, alleging “facts” that didn’t exist until they said so. The record-keepers fall into line, revising the historical record to accommodate the new “truth.” Meanwhile, you’re made to feel crazy, because you remember the before times. https://t.co/nl17RpfjUT

You could almost see Winston being called back to Minitrue in real time to implicate Justice Alito as an enemy of Big Brother.
They live edit history and then pretend nobody notices 😕

Winston!
At the time of this writing, the Wikipedia page has been edited over 150 times since May 22, some to expound on the history of the flag, and a large number of edits grinding back and forth over text about the 'modern use' of the flag that refers to Christian nationalism, Stop the Steal, January 6, Speaker Mike Johnson, and the latest hit on Justice Alito.
Funny how Wikipedia leaves out that it was flown at many BLM rallies.

Some noticed that the article was heavily biased towards painting a picture of the flag as a 'far-right' extremist symbol while ignoring other groups that have used it, such as BLM.
I found a good image for the article. It's appropriately licensed and was conveniently already uploaded to wikipedia in July 2020, so should be good to use!https://t.co/w6caNTvWlB pic.twitter.com/zhzef5ks67

The current version of the article displays a photo of the flag at a BLM rally but does not describe the same in the text.
The page has currently settled on this text, some of which predated the current attempt to smear Alito, and also absent the mention of the Supreme Court justice … for now.
In the 2020s, the flag has also been used by some Christian nationalists and Donald Trump's 'Stop the Steal' campaign by some far-right groups. It has been described as 'a symbol of right-wing extremism' and a 'banner of the far right.'
'It has been described as'. That's some really convenient propaganda there. Should we update Wikipedia with how we describe Democrats?
“Some Christian nationalists have flown the flag” is totally different than “the flag represents Christian nationalism.”
— Andrew Kerr (@AndrewKerrNC) May 25, 2024
Christian nationalists and white supremacists fly the American flag. That doesn’t make the American flag a Christian nationalist/white supremacist symbol.
Wait until they find out who else flew the German flag.
It appeared regularly in popular culture up until 2019. Then it fell into obscurity. https://t.co/uHFzjfOpCW

We loved the 'fell into obscurity' part. That was one of the edits currently on the cutting room floor. The hack who wrote that was definitely trying to convey the message that you'd have to be a hard-core right-wing nut to use the flag. This is why we don't trust Wikipedia for politics.
Wikipedia is only good for looking up who played guitar on a Steely Dan song.

LOL. It does have its uses.
This shouldn't be a surprise. Wikipedia has ALWAYS been Left/Progressive. Whole swathes of neutral historical data get removed whenever the editors don't like a fact. The "fact checking" there has always had overtones of the "1984" Party

Leftists who think they're the smartest people in the room and never do any wrong editing an encyclopedia whenever a current news story catches their fancy … what could go wrong?
These are the same people who will tell you 'the parties switched' to avoid the Democratic Party owning their racist history, but they think they should be trusted to accurately record the truth.
They just wiped out a whole decade of references from the prior Wiki entry and acted like none of that stuff happened. 🤡
— Vin Sidious (@VinSidious) May 24, 2024
The stale swipe at Sarah Palin for appearing in front of the flag was removed in an effort to focus on Alito. That's pretty funny.
When you’re having to rewrite and disappear encyclopedia entries in order to support your efforts to delegitimize the constitutional order, you’re not the “Anti-Fascists” https://t.co/YbtmE4Ep5w

They redefined 'anti-fascist' so they could continue to behave like fascists.
At least in 1984 Winston Smith got paid for this kind of work. https://t.co/sazN2cgN0h

You can't even get paid for producing state propaganda in the Biden economy.
How do you even begin to solve a problem like Wikipedia's 10 years of capture by a relatively small (you'd be shocked how few) set of woke neckbeards? Now consider AI will make this problem look quaint. https://t.co/KVzqkyAnq1

The AI large language models are being trained using content from sites like Wikipedia if you want to know how this is going to go.
This is what they mean by “fighting disinformation.” It’s basically we will erase all traces of what is really true to fit the political narrative we want you to know and remember. It’s Orwellian, but that’s where we are. https://t.co/VQMVJ5L2GF

There's a reason Franklin is purported to have said 'A republic, if you can keep it.'
There will always be those who would undo it, so there must also always be those of us who seek to preserve it.
If only we had a flag we could use to represent this neverending struggle …
