Editors working in the commercial sector have told me that the Wiki rip is quite common. The author does not read or think about the topic, rather the words are lifted as a piece into the document. The wiki piece is the whole. The idea that thinking is required is alien.
The plagiarism issues around the book “Kill All Normies” may not reflect the mendacity of the author so much as the end of literacy. What I mean by this is that simply copying Wikipedia or another website is, for many people, writing today. You do not need to work the thought.

In this sense, it is not even a moral issue. This is because the person does not understand what it is to comprehend and analyse what is written in the first place. Do they even really understand what they have written? Possibly not. They have created relevant “content”.

“Content” is not writing, really. It is not thought. It is, as with memes, mere information replication without any particular comprehension of the information contained within.
