Conservapedia is a far-right Christian extremist online encyclopedia. It was created in 2006 by Statesian conservatives who believed that Wikipedia was too left-leaning.[1] Although it claims to oppose liberalism, it confuses this term with leftism[2] and actually supports neoliberalism.
Misinformation
Conservapedia claims that climate change is a liberal communist hoax.[3] It also states that evolution is fake[4] and believes that the United States of America is currently a military junta ("Biden-Harris junta") headed by fascist-nazi-communist dictator Joe Biden, who gained power after the 2021 "Biden Putsch", which they think included the 2021 capital coup, however, they claim that it was "staged", and really done by "leftists".[5]
According to conservapedia, communism (which they fail to understand that it is a economic system, not a political one) and socialism (which they falsely define as a economic system where a "bureaucratic elite" controls the economy) are both "failed" systems, however, conservapedia nonetheless appers to claim that nearly every political organization in the west that is not far-right is either "socialist" or "communist". Furthermore, conservapedia claims that socialism has been "tried" in the UK, India, and Isreal, but "failed".[6]
According to conservapedia, the Statesian democratic party is a "leftwing fascist totalitarian organization" which support "Socialism", "Democratic Socialism", "Communism", "Neo-Nazism", "Authoritarianism" all at once.[7] They claim that Hollywood pushes a "Homosexual agenda", that it is "destroying the fabric of American culture", that it is sympathetic to communism, and criticise it for lacking their hard-line christian ideas.[8] They also claim that the European Union's "entire purpose" was to subject Western Europe to marxist-leninist/"marxist-trotskyist" thought.[9]
