You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

You know you can make a page yourself right?

Go ahead and compile a list with sources referenced and write it up according to the style guide.

    "You know you can do this thing yourself right?"

    Person does thing

    "No you are using biased language and have to use exclusively sources which are known to repeat CIA imperialist propaganda like the Hamas rape hoax on demand."

    Yeah articles that show capitalist and imperialists in a bad light don’t exist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju_Uprising

    The sources referenced there should be a great start for writing the suggested article. Have at it.

    which ones explicitly state that they were caused by capitalism like the point OP was making?

    The suggestion was that OP could simply make an article and reference works that make a strong case for that claim.

    It doesn’t appear to be difficult especially in relation to colonialism.

    Now if Wikipedia rejected a well researched, fairly written and referenced article, this would be a different discussion.

    No it wouldn't, it would be exactly the same because you would ignore that Wikipedia deleted it. And we know this because that is exactly what happened

    People have done this repeatedly and been nuked every time. It's extremely fucking telling that all the Wikipedia true believers have clearly never actually looked into the process themselves

    That would be because you're supposed to contribute articles to the repository before you're allowed to just go scribbling on the walls. Authorarian and draconian, I know. A system likely devised by the CIA to oppress white people who never go outside

    Yeah there's always some post hoc justification for it

    vandalizing public works

    Lol. Calm down. Creating a Wikipedia page is not "vandalizing public works"

    You're right. It's the requirement be granted editing privileges. Try to keep up. Or go read the rules before you whine. Or just stop playing dumb

    There's probably going to be a lot of that in your future. Everyone else is already used to.... you

    True. Would be good to try that and see how it is handled

    Asking for the help of others who may see this: Could you help in listing major mass killings by capitalist states?

    Will mention ones that I can remember now:

    USAmerican regime - Kent State Uni massacre, MOVE bombing, BLM protestors murdered for protesting against the racist regime

    British colonial regime in India - Jalianwallah Bagh massacre, Wagon massacre, Massacre of tribes in hilly states
    If famines are included, then the Bengal famine, Madras famine, Travancore famine etc.

    Mass killings in areas like Ireland n all by the British capitalist regime too

    South Korean regime - Jeju island, Bodo league massacres and similar mass killings

    Mass killings by Nazi Germany
