| | + | Infogalactic possibly engages in [[anti-Semitism]] through their "Israel lobby" articles.<ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Israel_lobby</ref> The idea that Israel manipulates U.S. foreign policy is a common anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist canard. Infogalactic disparages popular [[classical liberal]] [[Jordan Peterson]], and Peterson's article even contains unsourced [[9/11 conspiracy theories]]. Infogalactic severely disparages popular [[mainstream conservative]] [[Ben Shapiro]], including as a "neo-conservative" and repeatedly as a "cuckservative." Both Shapiro and Peterson are referred to as "controlled opposition."<ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Jordan_Peterson</ref><ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Ben_Shapiro</ref> |
