It used to be That you could buy a set of books that could provide a set of facts you could quote and rely on.
Now we have the internet.

Because it would be racist, antisemitic, transphobic, and true.

Ultimately true but in the sense that (((they))) didn't approve of the information it'll be all of the above.

Because every source of "truth" and "facts" is subject to differing standards of evidence. Nothing is ever objective. Everything, from history, to mathematics, to physics, to government, etc. is a matter of viewpoint and perspective. If you want to have a curated set of "truth", you're going to have to assemble it yourself, like some people here already do. At home, we call it our library.
