Novoross.info

Novoross.info is a far-right Russian nationalist website that promotes xenophobia, chauvinism and conspiracy theories against minorities. For reasons that are inexplicable the Wikipedia Foundation and Russian Wikipedia leadership consider it inappropriate to "insult" the website and it's editors, contents, and outlandish claims by refering to it as a white supremacist conspiracy theory source, despite the fact that it's senior editors are prone to comparing people of color to insects and monkeys.[1]

The Exposé

The Exposé is a UK-based fake news webshite that mostly expresses hostility towards the COVID-19 vaccine. The site first appeared in November 2020.[note 1] As expected, the people on the site believe in many conspiracy theories. They constantly ask viewers to donate to the site either a one-time donation, monthly subscription or by giving them your Bitcoin, because they believe they are being censored by the government.[1] There are two main accounts that post on the site: one is the Exposé themselves as a group, and the other is one Rhoda Wilson, a victim of crank magnetism syndrome.[2] They are never consistent with the number of deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

Criticism of socialism

Criticism of socialism is as old as socialism itself: arguments against socialism used 1850 are still in vogue.[2] There are two main kinds of critiques of socialism: arguments based on the economic theories of socialism, claiming that it’s a very inefficient system when compared to capitalism, and more abstract, political arguments, that claim that even if socialism is feasible, it’s still immoral.
