Politics can be fun!

A recent Cracked article, entitled 5 Terrifying Bastarizations of the Wikipedia Model helped me stumble across Conservapedia today. I briefly glanced through it (most of it isn’t really worth reading), and needless to say, was not at all phased by the extreme bias present in the writing.
Now, I think the concept of collaborative efforts of a group of people towards a common cause is a good idea. It helps them get together and make their side of the story easier to understand for people on the outside. However, like in nature, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Similar to how I would compare the almost sacredness of Wikipedia to the database of hilarity that is Encyclopedia Dramatica (also, interestingly enough, mentioned in the above Cracked article), I will say that Liberapedia is the counterbalance to Conservapedia.
It provides a very lighthearted look at almost the same information, but from a rediculously left-wing outlook. I highly recommend checking out the article on Communism. Even if you’re somebody who can’t (or doesn’t want to) understand politics, at least you can laugh at half-decent satire.
