If we're going to take the actions of a couple of low level dope legislatures as, "the US government" and a toothless investigation as "actively plotting against", sure.

Investments can fail, such as bank deposits (bank collapses), shares (company goes bankrupt), government bonds (government defaults), commodities (price fluctuations as they go in or out of favour.)

Theft can also occur, including by corrupt insiders (sometimes even legally, just by inflating their salaries to ridiculous levels.)

The chance of remaining intact for 1000 years seems very low.

By having a separate fund that the Wikimedia Foundation can access to help Wikipedia to have the technical expertise and knowledge workers required to continue the work of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Should the Wikimedia Foundation cease to exist, the funds in the endowment can be redirected to a successor.

EDIT: this is similar in style to the UK's Guardian Foundation, who provides funding to The Guardian newspaper. https://theguardianfoundation.org/

Surely, they can set up shop elsewhere on the globe?

Even the US isn’t 1000 years old. Who’s to say it will even exist in a remotely recognizable form in 1000 years.

The last 1000 years changed at a snails pace compared to the last 25 years.

Nitpick: The US Voting Rights Act became law in 1965 [2], which is more like 60 years ago. Not sure if that's what you were getting at with "basically an apartheid" but it was the closest concrete landmark near your 50 year timeline.

(since posting Wikipedia links seems appropriate.)

It’s not Ragnar Lodbrok turning into ABBA. It’s a mostly peaceful peasant society getting tossed around by history until it became a mostly peaceful service economy - and the shaking never really stopped.

History is not a straight progress line. Ask the Romans.

Ask a medieval peasant and he wouldnt even be able to describe how his life is different from his father's.

That «multiculturalism» is already responsible for undoing the changes you’re describing here. Sweden is regressing into a medieval, middle-eastern ghetto faster than you’d think - as do other parts of Europe.

These sort of hyper exaggerated comments help no one. Not to mention "other parts of Europe" were literally Islamic for hundreds of years.

the article you linked in no way supports that sentence.

(there's just a committee looking into claims that edits are used for propaganda in general.)
