Metapedia

The alternative encyclopedia.
—Metapedia's motto.

For those among you who think that Conservapedia is too liberal, you are henceforth directed to Metapedia.
Metapedia was founded as a mirror project to Wikipedia, but with an extreme right-wing and white supremacist slant. Officially, it's there to provide a "fair and balanced image of the European cultural struggle". Predictably, the wiki wastes no time in clarifying how the "Cultural Marxists" have polluted Western civilization with evils such as liberalism and immigrants and race-mixing. Due to their very strict editing policy, the site is surprisingly free from Wiki Vandals.
The site has over 15,000 articles in English and has versions in nine European languages. Sometimes they copy Wikipedia pages wholesale, and just add a racist twist.
Also, Metapedia is famous for putting a little asterisk (shaped like the Star of David) next to the names of any Jewish persons, to remind the reader that they're Jews.
If you are prepared to risk your sanity, here is the link.
- Adolf Hitler: At one point, his article said: "Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician. In his earlier life, he was a painter, writer, and nationalist activist. He was the central figure behind the actions and policies of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP). Hitler was elected to the German chancellorship (Reichskanzler) in 1933, and ascended the next year to Führer of Germany. He held this office through the Second World War, which ended with his suicide." Can't help feeling there's something important missing there... The page now[when?] defends his actions, and ends with a "Confession". "We believe in Adolf Hitler. The immortal leader of our people, a special present of destiny, the greatest person of all times. Today and for ever living in our hearts". That's the first verse. It ends with "Heil Hitler."
- A Nazi by Any Other Name
- Author Appeal: A large amount of Metapedia's articles are dedicated to the Spartans, the Roman Empire, the Vikings, runes, Norse mythology, and other typically "Aryan" things. (Apparently, they can't decide whether the word means "European" or "Nordic European.")
- Benito Mussolini: His article is filled with glowing praise.
- Black and White Morality: Done literally, for obvious reasons. Everything done by black people is bad or inferior, and everything done by whites is wonderful.
- Blatant Lies: What a large portion of the site's content is considered to be.
- Misplaced Nationalism: Taken to a shocking extreme.
- The (Im)Moral Substitute: To Wikipedia.
- Orwellian Editor
- Personal Dictionary: Metapedia's definition of "pro-European" and "Cultural Marxist" is rather warped, to put it mildly. The latter is defined as "a way to undermine European values and civilization by using methods other than direct political action."
- The bizarre comparisons between Fascism, Liberalism, and Communism. In case you didn't get the message, "Liberalism" is represented by an image of shirtless gays waving a rainbow flag, and "Communism" by a totalitarian propaganda poster.
- Pet the Dog: Metapedia's many articles on East Asian countries and cultures are refreshingly in-depth and free from the typical racism. It helps that they're all copied and pasted straight from Wikipedia.
- There is a growing trend within the larger white supremacist movement that admires the "Yamato" (Japanese) for their island's relative rarity of foreigners and lack of what they see as race-mixing. This sub-movement seeks to unite East Asian supremacists and Western Nazis (again) for the purposes of "preserving the purity" of their two respective "races." Several young white supremacists have taken to openly admiring "Yamato" culture - basically they're Nazi Japanophiles.
- Compared to other nonwhite peoples, East Asians are quite light-skinned and technologically advanced, and Japan actually has a higher standard of living than the United States or most European countries. It's not too far-fetched to imagine white supremacists viewing them as Not So Different.
- A true Pet the Dog is that the only conspiracy they didn't throw at former President Obama is the one that he was born in Kenya.

- Poe's Law: No one can deny that protecting a space for the European cultural sphere is a worthy pursuit. That's why it's so hard to understand Metapedia. One would think that they'd want to purge any hint of pro-Nazi sentiment from their content, in order to avoid tarring European culture with the stain of white supremacism.
- The Resenter: This entire wiki wallows in its own hatred and negativity.
- The Social Darwinist: Almost all of the editors. The racist pseudo-science is most obvious in the article about blacks.
- Strawman Political: "Cultural Marxism" is this to them. Whenever it's mentioned, expect a furious rant against a strawman.
