RationalWiki<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> is now online again.

RationalWiki<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> appears to have escaped the threat of imminent closure due to an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiffs.

RationalWikiIt is appearing very likely that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> will be dissolved this year due to lack of legal representation (no pro bono lawyers came forward and we do not have funds to hire a lawyer). Meritless <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/defamation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defamation</a> lawsuits were filed against us by "human biodiversity"/"scientific racism"/pro-eugenics plaintiffs.

RationalWiki<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> is facing imminent legal peril from 5 separate defamation lawsuits from 5 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugenics</a> supporters. At least 2 of the lawsuits appear to be frivolous on their face. The 5 litigants are known to have acted in concert to take advantage of the weak <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SLAPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLAPP</a> protections within our state of incorporation and to bankrupt us. We need both monetary donations and legal representation (we are already aware of both the ACLU and the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EFF</a>). <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NewMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewMexico</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/</a>

They generally present their views as a revival of the traditions of Western civilization. Unlike ordinary reactionaries who nostalgically view the past as the good old days, neoreactionaries are futurists who are more critical of the past; for example, by rejecting the ideals of the Enlightenment while supporting a type of neo-feudalistic view of what society should be ( <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libertarianism</a> ruled by <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a>). Along with rejecting the Enlightenment's ideals, the movement is antihumanist and nihilistic.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/neoreactionarymovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neoreactionarymovement</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/darkenlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkenlightenment</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/curtisyarvin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#curtisyarvin</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Neoreactionary_movement" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Neoreactionary_movement</a>

RationalWikiRoy Marcus Cohn was a lawyer, a rabid anti-communist, a closeted homosexual and homophobe, a Jewish anti-Semite, a misogynist, and a quintessential DINO (a registered Democrat who almost exclusively supported Republicans). His career spanned from the beginning of the Second Red Scare up through the beginning of Donald Trump's career.In 1948, Cohn was hired on the same day he passed the bar exam by Irving Saypol, US Attorney in New York, allegedly with the help of family connections. During his time in the Attorney General's office, he assisted the prosecution in 1949 of eleven members of the Communist Party USA leadership, including Gus Hall, under the Smith Act. In 1950, he prosecuted Soviet spy William Remington who had been a Commerce Department employee.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/roycohn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roycohn</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/redscare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redscare</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homophobia</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antisemitism</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mccarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mccarthyism</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/donaldtrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#donaldtrump</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn</a>
