The internet is toxic – here are five possible cures The Internet can be a tremendously awful place. Here are some ideas for solutions from thinkers all over the world.
Anybody who’s spent any amount of time logged on knows that the Internet can be a tremendously awful place. The same series of tubes that brings us movie trailers and dog pics are also used to deliver hatred and vitriol from complete strangers. And if you think that things are getting worse online, you’re right. The Internet Health Report, a new project from Mozilla, aims to build a picture of the sanity and stability of the Internet, all three billion online souls who make it what it is. It’s a dense and difficult report, full of information, and although there are certainly some positives, it also offers some chilling predictions.…

Seeing poor white people makes me happy By Nicholas Powers, associate professor at State University of New York (SUNY).
[The following piece was written by Nicholas Powers, an associate professor at State University of New York (SUNY), and first published by website RaceBaitr on June 11, 2019. The website scrubbed the piece from the internet rather than responding when faced with questions from right-wing journalists. Coverage: NY Post, Washington Times, Breitbart.] “Should I kick him in the face? Hard? No, chill, he’s not worth it. But why is this white boy begging for money in a Black neighborhood? Is he stupid?” I shake the evil out of my head and go into the subway. He comes every Spring. The homeless white boy flaps down like a dirty migratory bird, makes…

It Happened To Me: I keep having dreams where I call Obama the N-word and I want it to stop Every time it happens my work suffers the next day.
Politically, I’ve been a Democrat my entire life and an Obama supporter for as long as I can remember. I volunteered for John Kerry’s presidential campaign back in 2004 which is where Obama first registered on my map. I watched his speech at the DNC and was instantly enamored. And when he announced his candidacy for president in 2007, I immediately threw my weight behind him. I knocked on doors, educated people about his policies and did the best I could to get people to vote for him. When he was elected, I was ecstatic. In the past, when I had supported candidates, it was out of cold reason; because…

It’s time to pay our best women to have children Here's how it would work.
One of the most obvious solutions to our declining birth rate across the West is to simply pay women to have children. Cash for kids. My main problem with this scheme is that it is also glaringly obvious we don’t want all women to have children, and we certainly are not going to pay cash money for all women to have children. We want the best women to have children, and we should be prepared to pay for that. But who gets to decide which women are the best, and what happens to the women who don’t make the grade? Let’s deal with the first issue: who decides which are the…

It’s true: only men pay tax Men – all men – support women – all women – whether they like it or not.
A study from New Zealand shows fairly definitively that we (women), as a group, don’t pay any taxes. Sure, we file tax documents and have taxes deducted from our paychecks and pay out consumer taxes at the cash register, just like men do, but in the final tally, uh…well, look at this: GROSS TAX PAID + BENEFITS CLAIMED = NET TAXES PAID Let me explain. If you pay out, say, $100 every paycheck to the IRS, but every month, you claim $200 in benefits, you have not paid a single penny in tax. In fact, you have claimed twice what you have paid. You are $100 up, and the rest…

Strange fruit: when women lied and men died History's interjection to the notion that #MeToo accusers are incapable of lying or being motivated by malice or financial gain.
From 1882 – 1968, an estimated 4,743 men were lynched in the United States, often after an accusation of rape, prompting the NAACP to claim ‘[w]hites started lynching because they felt it was necessary to protect white women’. We now know that many of these women lied, and men died. Emmet Till was only 14 years old when he was beaten to death for the crime of ‘whistling at a white woman’. Many years later, Carolyn Brant admitted that she lied, to protect her husband. They went on to profit financially from the boy’s death. Till was hardly alone. A mob of 1500 beat and hung three Black circus workers…

Could it be time to deny white men the franchise? This redistribution of the world’s wealth is long overdue, and it is not just South Africa where white males own a disproportionate amount of wealth.

Porn and virtual girlfriends ‘significant factors’ in Japan’s low birth rate By the year 2065, 38% of the population will be aged 60.
The population of Japan is forecast to drop by about one third over the next 50 years, with some analysts concluding that online porn is partly to blame for its declining birthrate. New figures published by the country’s Health Ministry predict that by the year 2065, about 38% of the population will be aged 60 or over while those aged 14 or under will account for only 10% of the nation. Last February it was revealed that Japan’s population of 127 million had shrunk for the first time since records began. In 2016, fewer than one million babies were born despite attempts to boost the population via paternity leave, support…

My week in Cuba following Castro’s death Time in Cuba usually moves slowly, but it took on a crazed momentum after Fidel Castro died.
At the time, I was in the Bolabana, a packed Havana nightclub, chatting to Carla, 23, a beautiful computer science student. We were discussing that day’s Marabana marathon and the joy and energy of Havana’s streets. Suddenly the reggaeton stopped. A barman told us we had to leave “on the orders of State Security.” Outside, Carla checked her phone and exclaimed: “How amazing! Fidel is dead!” I didn’t believe her. I’ve been visiting and working in Cuba for 25 years. I had come to believe he was immortal. But the intensity of emotions on the faces of everyone standing outside the Bolabana – shock, sadness, relief – confirmed the news.…
