A simple Wikipedia entry about the history of the chair reveals how the site’s far-left editors desperately try to reframe the past in real time.
The Wikipedia page describing the history of the chair initially read, “Chairs are known from Ancient Egypt and have been widespread in the Western world from the Greeks and Romans onwards.”
“They were in common use in China from the twelfth century, and were used by the Aztecs. In Sub-Saharan Africa, chairs were not in use before introduction by Europeans.”
That final sentence, believe it or not, is currently the subject of a culture war struggle.
One editor removed it entirely using the justification, “This seems unnesesary and frankly pretty racist.”
In other words, basic historical fact can now be amended if some demented shitlib gets offended by it.
The page is now going back and forth with people re-adding the true history and then having it removed again by leftist moderators.
Apparently, progressives are desperately to maintain some Wakanda-like idealized version of Sub-Saharan Africa where it was more advanced than western civilization.
