It is Owellian powermadness.
What a sourpuss.
I’d like to offer her a free helicopter ride with my dear friend, Agusto, as her pilot.

SHE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF WHITE PRIVILEGE.
Maher grew up in Wilton, Connecticut, and attended Wilton High School. After high school, Maher graduated from the Arabic Language Institute’s Arabic Language Intensive Program of The American University in Cairo in 2003, which she recalled as a formative experience that developed her interest in the Middle East.
Maher subsequently studied at the Institut français d’études arabes de Damas in Syria and spent time in Lebanon and Tunisia.
In 2005, Maher received a bachelor’s degree from New York University in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies.
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maher worked for UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank and Access Now before joining the Wikimedia Foundation. She subsequently joined the Atlantic Council and the US Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
Liberals always go communist in the end.
I could be wrong, but this woman appears to be a water-headed moron.
It was mostly white men who created the internet.
Dumb as a bag of rocks.
She must love the BBC...
“because those principles recapitulated a “white male Westernized construct””
That construct is what produced the societies that the rest of the world’s population wants to immigrate into.
I’d like her to compare the White Male Westernized Construct with other Constructs on the planet.
“The ways in which we ascribe notability often really comes some of this white male Westernized construct...”
She is a certifiable lunatic.
When I was a teenager I read Ayn Rand’s Anthem, which describes a futuristic dystopian society where the scientific method, among other things, was abolished because it was evil. I breathed a sigh of relief since I positively knew that it could never happen here. I plead the ignorance of youth.
It is happening now. The entire novel is happening now. Rand wrote that novella in 1938, admitted it was not her best work, but it turns out to be the most prophetically accurate.
And I am so very tired of white liberal women and their radicalized ideas and agendas! She is just another crazy liberal white woman who needs to have a lobotomy.
Katherine Maher is to journalism as Claudine Gay is to scholarship.
Did she actually say something?
She can really spew the elitist bs talk to make herself sound smarter. She has a BA degree from NYU. Big freakin’ deal. She’s worked really hard to fit in with the elites.
I see that she’s a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maher worked for UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute (funded by groups like SOROS’ Open Society Foundations), the World Bank and Access Now before joining the Wikimedia Foundation. She subsequently joined the Atlantic Council and the US Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.
I think she thinks she’s better than we are.
She’s deep state all the way and will do whatever they want.
She says some cultures don’t have a written tradition and Wikipedia was leaving them out.
Wikipedia is written, and if people want to transcribe oral knowledge they can. If they want to start a recorded OralLorepedia they can do that too.
She says there was too much defaulting to who and what was considered important by the West. In an open source reference, you can add people who are important in other cultures. You can add all the women and people of color and nonbinary types you want, because it’s open source. She chooses instead to suppress the West and Western tradition and history.
