“This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted,” Internet Archive director of archiving and data services Jefferson Bailey told the Standard, “like our museums, our historical societies, our public libraries, our academic libraries — just a lot of people that keep information free and accessible and online.”
They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.
They don’t deserve lineages
It’s part of the fascist playbook
They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.
“My lies can’t be wrong if I erase all records of the truth”
sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…
Your taxes can only go towards kidnappings! /s
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍
Thanks errer
Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way
❤️ love you Internet Archive
Just donated 50 ♥️
I donated.
❤️Donated. Cash is difficult right now, but I had some crusty old crypto sitting around just shrinking every month - they make it very easy to send some crypto their way so I was happy to dump it.
Thanks for giving the link and making this an easy 1-click thing. Just donated.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
Yup
He looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
…what
I said, he looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
As in, he’s a dick (asshole), that’s a pussy (coward).
“Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”
George Orwell, 1984
They destroy the past to sell you a future. It’s coercion and extortionate.
We have always been at war with Eurasia
Fuck you I won’t don’t do what you tell me. -RATM
They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.
The people want them gone.
And it’s 100% justified.
They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.
The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of “wasteful government spending”
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.
America, where the good stuff is funded on the side.
I give 5$ every month to wikipedia. I can give another 5$ to archive.org every month.
Spitefulness is the point. Trying to make progressives cry. “Owning the libs”.
When donvict talked about being “your” retribution, he was throwing red meat to complete dumbasses because this is the kind of shit he is planning for them. Performative bullshit that will do nothing for the base, and certainly nothing for normal Americans.
I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”
Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?
The equivalent would be seeding a torrent backup.
Europe here: can we have it? 😅
If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I’m in.
Well since I stopped paying federal taxes I might as well donate to the IA directly.
Hopefully this galvanizes support for them, like anti-boycotting essentially
Maybe, but likely only temporarily. Bad guys be winning.
Who else is waiting to see “DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia”?
noo I found pages there that where offline for years before I read a mention of them 😥
Elon Musk is what you’d get if you gave the illusion of personality to a 4Chan troll.
