My rant against NPOV:

I don't believe in NPOV, never have and never will. NPOV is a POMO idea and POMO is an ideology by idiots for idiots (as well as 'to' 'from' and any other article you can think of). POMO is a viciously destructive self-contradictory set of beliefs held seriously only by Americans because they've been propagandized into ignorance of the last two centuries of progress in moral philosophy and human rights theory. POMO is barely more credible than Behaviourism which is not much more credible than Ayn Rand's Objectivism. POMO is the very bottom of the academic and intellectual barrel.

I voted to delete the White Heritage Security racist piece of shite because it promotes mindsets that invariably lead to blatant violations of human rights. Oh, and I also believe in justice above the law, so I really don't care what policy has to say about this issue. If the book doesn't violate policy then it's obviously time to change policy.

And for the witless fools who will brainlessly cry Censorship Censorship, I will point out that NPOV is a censorship policy and one that violates the mission of wikibooks. Despite what POMO zealots would like to believe, truth and reality embed value judgements (as any serious philosopher or historian of science will be able to tell you) and so to censor value judgements is to censor truth and suppress the dissemination of facts. NPOV is a censorship policy and a pretty heinous one at that.

Finally, I will also point out that NPOV, the policy of wikipedia, only works on wikipedia because its mission is to strengthen the dominion of orthodox beliefs over dissident viewpoints. The role of wikipedia isn't to actually educate people, which implies a notion of progress, but to preserve cultural hegemony, to inculcate people into the dominant mainstream culture. That cannot be the mission of wikibooks.

I've started Evolution of Operating Systems Designs because I was so utterly disgusted with A Neutral Look at Operating Systems. I'm still disgusted by it, the lying bastards.

ANLAOS is a book about politics, but you won't ever be able to actually discuss politics on it. Like the fact that RMS is a liberal capitalist pig spouting a bunch of pseudo-Marxist propaganda in order to mislead and coopt social progressives into his right-libertarian agenda. (RMS' advice to programmers about how they can live under a communist model of software development was "Let them stop eating shrimp." His pathological indifference to the welfare of the masses harks back to Marie-Antoinette's.) Or that ESR is a disgusting lying pig and his Cathedral And The Bazaar is a bunch of lying crap about as credible as early 20th century anti-union propaganda run by bosses ("I make all of the profits but we're all in this together and the unions are only trying to destroy our wonderful *cough* exploitative *cough* relationship").

I've also completely overhauled The Computer Revolution: A Timeline which wasn't merely ignorant but grossly misleading (to the point of lying) with its worshipful attitude towards William Henry Gates III, popularly known as "Bill" as if he were some two-bit hick living down the street.

I've fixed the Venezuela entry of the South America Juniorbook. The whole South America project is grossly racist and white supremacist, it's repugnant.
