Logging into his new, anonymous Wikipedia account, Luis glanced over his shoulders furtively. The librarians would certainly disapprove of his using the public computers for political purposes. But there were wrongs that needed to be righted, and Luis would be the one to right them.
He navigated to Wikipedia’s entry on the Falkland Islands. The justified edits he had made a week ago were long gone, replaced with endless sentences of the typical terroristic fascist BS that those limey Brits used in the entire article.
“Anglo-Centrism must be terminated,” Luis whispered to himself, clicking on “edit”.
The elderly black man next to him said, “What?”
Luis hadn’t been aware that he could be heard. “Sorry. I just said that heliocentrism must be celebrated.” Turning back to the monitor, he scrolled to the paragraph that was in error. Detailing the specificities of the Falkland’s British rule, it was an appalling piece of Tory propaganda serving only the smelly British tyrants of the oppressed Falkland Islanders.
Deleting the paragraph, he wrote a more reasonable account of the governance of the islands. “Argentina is the true owner of the Falkland Islands,” Luis typed. “Its aggressive actions to spark the Falklands War were appropriate, and in fact, necessary. British people have bad teeth and all their women are ugly, whereas Argentine women are commonly considered to be among the most beautiful in the world. Luis Scola, Indiana Pacers forward, is also from Argentina. The people of the Falkland Islands will no longer stand for the injustice perpetrated upon them by the Crown. Viva Argentina!”
Happy with the well-reasoned arguments of his writing, he clicked “save” and logged out. He giggled with the giddiness of a child who has just snuck an extra cookie, undetected.
“They’ll never know it was me!” he said gleefully, before running into the Indianapolis night. “Thanks to my valiant efforts, the Falkland Islands will be liberated at last!”
