I was recently laughed at in a party round when I revealed that I am entertaining a permanent order to support Wikipedia. The reaction did not surprise me, after all, it seems a bit strange to me that I support a mainstream NGO. I also reject Greenpeace promoters, walk past Campact information stands and do not sign online petitions. In addition, almost every left project in my direct environment-from the magazine to sea rescue to the techno club-needs my money as much, if not more urgent.
Nevertheless, I had to do this in the beautiful garden of that clubs to my defense, suddenly a special horror when some time ago when calling some Wikipedia article down the usual donation prompt biking. I was so frightened that I set up a monthly transfer of five euros. Although this is an amount that I can afford from my lean editor content, but my behavior is really only to be explained by the reason for my terror: What attacked me at that moment was the dark idea of an internet – and therefore somehow an entire world – from which the last really shared, unlimited knowledge source has disappeared.

Why the whole thing? “Wokepedia”, as the Ober-Honk Elon Musk calls the reference work, was “biased”, “manipulated from abroad”-and spread anti-Semitic content. All of this is laughable, especially coming on the part of an organization, the “Project Ester” spreads conspiracy counts in order to “fight” anti -Semitism. The real reason for the right hatred of Wikipedia: a really public, grassroots collecting of knowledge, in terms of source and with the right to truth, must Racist patriarchs are a thorn in the side. In this respect, the preservation of Wikipedia is ultimately not a question of financing, but of politics. Maybe I should rather donate my five euros to the Antifa …
