these idiots would sit around frothing at the mouth in a near seizure state until it returns?

it's kind of hilarious how the establishment has crippled the peoples ability to contend any of their shady bull **** by using the media, other forms of social control, and systematic poisoning to create a generation full of mentally handicapped conceited jackasses that can barely even wipe their own ass, much less understand the fact that they're basically livestock.

Man, how out of the loop do you even have to be to not understand why Wikipedia's down.

Do those people EVER read the news or they're just too busy getting drunk and taking part in threesomes?

There are people on there who are like "who cares about wikipedia" who I don't think deserve to be on the same list with these morons. Especially the one person who's like "who really uses wikipedia every day"... what's so crazy about that statement? She's just telling people to calm down.

Most of those tweets are moronic, granted.
