RationalWiki is a genetic-egalitarian race-denialist propaganda website that is run by Ontario resident Trent Toulouse. RationalWiki is a wiki founded by secular humanists in response to Conservapedia. They regard Richard Dawkins as their messiah. It is based on MediaWiki, like Metapedia. The wiki has around 4200 English pages middle of May 2010. The information is inaccurate and sparse. The wiki begs for donations. The site is extremely anti-Christian and anti-Conservative and promotes sodomy and gun restriction.
Trent Toulouse has promoted like-minded people on the wiki to the rank of bureaucrat, and let them enforce the site’s propaganda and promote other like-minded people to bureaucrat, whereas Trent Toulouse himself does not directly enforce the propaganda. That serves to make Trent Toulouse appear blameless; the same tactic is used by Wikipedia owner Jimbo Wales. Trent Toulouse's primary surrogate is the user “Human”; Human has done much of the bureaucratizing that Trent did not want his name attached to. The following is the web of power at RationalWiki.org:

The website fraudulently portrays itself as being “rational”, and opposed to “pseudoscience”, yet promotes exactly the thing that they claim to oppose: the irrational spiritual pseudosciences of genetic egalitarianism and race denialism. On top of such deceptiveness, Trent Toulouse solicits donations (on the website’s main page) under these false pretenses. That fits within the definition of criminal fraud.
The first members of the website were leftist editors that trolled on Conservapedia. The main Judaic propagandist on RationalWiki is a user named Nebauchadnezzar, who fills the website database with reels of spittle about "anti-cementic conspiracy theorists", up to and including shilling for the Rothschild family and George Soros.
Contents
Examples of irrationality, bias, lies and quackery
Race realism
- RationalWiki claims race realism is "racist" and attempts to link it to "white supremacists". This is despite the fact there are Indian, and Chinese race realist scientists, amongst others (as surveys have repeatedly shown). For example regarding the latter, a major study which examined papers published in China's leading journal in biological anthropology during the 1982-2002 period found every single one of the 324 articles dealing with human variation used traditional race concepts (Wang et al, 2003). Race realism is not restricted to one race or ethnic group, it is merely a viewpoint based on the objective scientific data which has proven race is a reality.
- RationalWiki sets up straw man arguments, some of which are covered on the race realism entry, and by Sesardic (Biol Philos, 2010, 25:143–162).
- Rationalwiki attempts to discredit race realism by linking it to politics. In reality, race realism is apolitical. The roots of race denialism however are firmly entrenched in politics. You only have to click on the peoples userpages who edited the entry entitled "racial realism" at Rationalwiki to see Liberal, or other left-wing political stances listed in userboxes.
Homosexuality
- Rationalwiki asserts homosexuality is natural and observed among non-Human species. This is false, since there is no "homosexual instinct" in animals. Dr. Antonio Pardo, a Professor of Bioethics at the University of Navarre, Spain, has noted that non-Human species are limited to reproduction instinct (therefore isolated unnatural "acts" of homosexuality can not be equated to homosexuality as a sexual orientation):
"Properly speaking, homosexuality does not exist among animals.... For reasons of survival, the reproductive instinct among animals is always directed towards an individual of the opposite sex. Therefore, an animal can never be homosexual as such. Nevertheless, the interaction of other instincts (particularly dominance) can result in behavior that appears to be homosexual. Such behavior cannot be equated with an animal homosexuality. All it means is that animal sexual behavior encompasses aspects beyond that of reproduction."[1]
