What sources can I link to people who trust Wikipedia on history and politics, particularly about AES and imperialism?

Thank you!

    BadEmpanada's video where he looks into the citations for Holodomor would have been good but for some reason he decides to cap it off with "Stalin bad" brainworms. I think if someone could turn his findings into an essay it would be neat.

      Thank you, will definitely give it a watch. I honestly don't mind "Stalin bad" because Stalin is a lost cause for the kind of people who rely on Wikipedia. Gotta choose your battles.

        On the surface, yes, but also what good Stalin did and to a certain extent can be implemented in the future is very important for political education if you hope to turn your country into a socialist one.

        If you won't believe the truth about Stalin you're definitely not believing the truth about the Holodomor.

        People who believe 95% lies aren't going to be that much more amicable if we only push to correct 90% of them.

        I agree that it is unwise to lead with or bring up Stalin unnecessarily, but I will not tolerate lies about him.
