Why have the BLM symbol with the banana? Metapedia should be a serious site. It's a funny meme but Metapedia is not 4chan or Reddit. The other pictures added are fine. --Estellenation 14:34, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

The symbol might not be seen as "serious" at first sight, I agree to that, but it is more than that. It is satire and striking criticism against the power claims of BLM in form of caricature. The black fist ... well, I don't have to tell you, what it means, putting the banana takes away it's menace, invalidates it's symbolism ... and is therefore a highly intelligent form of criticism. BLM thinks, it has the "mainstream" and the "Zeitgeist" with them, but their adversaries are growing daily. Political cartoons, as integral components of political journalism, have their eligibility within an online encyclopedia, especially wthin an alternative online encyclopedia like ours. I have now added a caption to the picture for more understanding. --Crusader (talk) 15:29, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Could I just ask about this sentence: "A leaded internal 2017 FBI report". Should it read "leaked"? If not, what is a leaded report? Matt58 (talk) 07:53, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Written by Upplysning, so you would have to ask him ... but of course it should read "leaked". --Crusader (talk) 16:39, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting it. Matt58 (talk) 09:21, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
