Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. Options

[Joseph100]

Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. I've made numerous attempts to try to work with them in order to edit and correct glaring factual mistakes, as well as blatant boldface bias on various biographies of Republican officeholders from Illinois.

What I have found is Wikipedia is a complete totally filled with hate filled Marxists children, and tin pot, petty dictators drunk with power, whose concept of fairness is distorted and corrupt and with out control.

So, I am looking for advice on how to go about to diminish, destroy and neutralize Wikipedia.

Any reasonable suggestion will be taken under advisement.

For those who are pro-Wikipedia. All I have to say is this... there is nothing that you could say, do, or argue which would convinced me that Wikipedia has any merit, or good for the body politic or the Internet at large.
It is my sworn belief that Wikipedia is absolutely a cesspool of evil.

Thank you

I've already had a love/hate relationship with the Internet for the past decade or so. I knew a long time ago that epidemic intellectual laziness was going to be one of its main products. Sure, it is interesting and fun to browse around endlessly, learning new things, "seeing" documents and data that I never would have seen otherwise, communicating instantaneously, etc. It seems to have been "good" for society overall, and I've certainly had my fun. But as someone who was trained in the use of an academic library at the graduate level, I knew that the next generation would overwhemingly just get their data by typing search terms into Google.

With the advent of Wikipedia, and its inevitable top ranking for search results, it has become the default source of knowledge on almost every topic. I will admit to clicking on Wikipedia results to get an overview of something. I don't like this kind of "digest-knowledge" (as Ezra Pound called it, distinct from what we used to have, historein -- "to find out for oneself").

What can we do with Wikipedia? I like what the late Jean Baudrillard had to say (he died last week):

Cipher, don't decipher. Create illusions. Turn into an enigma what is clear. Make unintelligible what is far too intelligible. Render unreadable the event itself. Work all the events to make them unintelligible. Accentuate the fake transparency of the world to spread a terroristic confusion, to spread the germs or viruses of a radical illusion, make a radical disillusion of the real.

Take from that what you will.
