Revision as of 00:53, 3 December 2023
InfraWiki is a neo-fascist and "MAGA Communist" wiki founded in October 2022 by supporters of Infrared in response to ProleWiki, which had just taken up a hard stance against Caleb Maupin, Jackson Hinkle, the Infrared community, and the patriotic socialist movement in the United States in general.[1][2] Although it supports socialist leaders such as Joseph Stalin[3] and socialist states like the Soviet Union[4] and the People's Republic of China,[5] InfraWiki nonetheless upholds reactionaries such as Donald Trump,[6][7] RFK Jr.,[8] Viktor Orbán,[7] and the MAGA movement, which it views as pro-working class and anti-imperialist (conveniently ignoring their far-right and pro-imperialist policies). InfraWiki contains a number of bigoted statements about women and LGBT+ people,[9][10] and has established accounts on the alt-tech social media platforms TruthSocial and Parler.[11]
Political positions
Anti-LGBT bigotry and misogyny
InfraWiki contains sexist and anti-LGBT statements and believes the LGBT community is counterrevolutionary.[9] It refers to "transgenderism" as a psychological disorder.[10]
Racism and police apologia
InfraWiki claims that Black Lives Matter is a "domestic terrorist organization" and money laundering scheme as well as a front organization secretly operated by the Democratic Party and FBI.[12] They also deny the racist murder of George Floyd by police and claim that the protests in response to his murder were "terrorist attacks" targetting "LEOs and White Americans".[13] They almost entirely use Fox News articles and "dissident right" Twitter accounts for sourcing.
Sourcing
InfraWiki often uses unreliable sources to back up its claims — sources which would never be taken seriously in any formal setting. Some of the sources which InfraWiki uses include but are not limited to Telegram posts,[14] Twitter posts,[15] Quora answers,[14] and pop history videos on YouTube.[16] In addition, it recommends that its editors visit Conservapedia (which is itself infamous for its lack of reliability) and KeyWiki (an anti-communist doxxing site) in order to find sources to back up their claims.[17]
For "reliable sources", InfraWiki recommends far-right conspiracy theory propaganda like InfoWars and islamophobic outlets like Jihad Watch as "always reliable" sources.[18]
