The crisis in modern masculinity – “Susan Faludi argues that many Americans used the 9/11 attacks to shrink the gains of feminism and push women back into passive roles. Peterson’s traditionalism is the latest of many attempts in the west in recent years to restore the authority of men, or to remasculinise society. These include the deployment of “shock-and-awe” violence, loathing of cucks, cultural Marxists and feminists, re-imagining a silver-spooned posturer like Bush as superman, and, finally, the political apotheosis of a serial groper.” This article is not new, but with the misogynist attack in Toronto this week, it is a must read.

Hass im Internet | Jan Böhmermann – “Früher war das Internet ein wunderbarer Ort. Auf grünen Wiesen tauschten wir uns aus, kauften ein und schickten unsere Farmville-Rinder auf die Weide. Es war das Paradies! Inzwischen liegt mehr Trollscheiße auf dem Weg zu StudiVZ als Spritzen im Görlitzer Park. Es wird Zeit, sich das Internet von den Trollen zurückholen! Reconquista Internet!” Kommandant Wichsfürst.

Lösch Dich! So organisiert ist der Hate im Netz I Doku über Hater und Trolle – “Die Doku verfolgt ein Team, das undercover als Trolle und Hater im Netz unterwegs war und berichtet von gesteuerten Shitstorms, Mobbingattacken, Wahlmanipulationen. In der Doku sprechen sie mit Trollen, Nazis und Hatern, sind verdeckt in Trollnetzwerken unterwegs.” Also watch the bonus material, gives this report more depth.

“INTERROGATING ZUCKERBERG” — A Bad Lip Reading – “Tension mounted during Mark Zuckerberg’s congressional hearing…”

Die Anstalt vom 24. April 2018 – Wieder mal grossartig, diesmal zum Dauerbrennerthema Hartz IV.

Dichter, Denker, Fahnenschwenker – Erkundungen auf den Nachttischen der neuen Rechten – “Immer mehr Autoren wenden sich ab von der progressiven Moderne. Sie schimpfen auf den vermeintlich tonangebenden Linksliberalismus, sperren sich gegen ach so feindlich empfundene Fremde und entdecken ihre Liebe zu Volk und Nation.” The whole series is great.

What if superheroes aren’t really the good guys? – “We’ve always thought of them as flawed, noble and on our side – but perhaps they’re just dangerous rightwing vigilantes” The decade of the heel.

AIDES – Le sida peut se trouver n’importe où. Protégez-vous. – Weird website navigation, but great illustration.

The Willendorf Venus – crochet pattern – “I included a wire in the body (for the arms and legs). If you want to work without a wire, sew the arms to the breasts at the end of your work to make it look like the original.” Wish I knew how to crotchet.

Genealogy websites identify rape suspect who eluded police for 40 years – “Match came after finding relatives’ DNA on commercial service, news reports say.” This was a much talked about case, when I lived in the bay area. Still shocking.

The 446 People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter: A Complete List – “Insults since Mr. Trump became president are highlighted in yellow; the most recent updates are slightly darker. (This list covers tweets since Mr. Trump declared his candidacy.)” I have one word for him: wanker!

Switter, one of the last online spaces friendly to sex workers, was just banned by its network – “Safe havens continue to dwindle post-FOSTA as Cloudflare boots the Mastodon instance”

Toxic Masculinity Is at the Heart of This Darkness – “Unless we start taking toxic masculinity seriously as a social policy problem, things will get worse before they get better.”

Lone Canadian cop takes down alleged mass murderer without firing a shot – “Through frequent deescalation courses, Toronto’s Police Service is changing its officer’s responses to violent situations, slowly, but with measurable success. Is their police force perfect? Hell no. But its trying to change in the name of better serving the people it is sworn to protect. That’s better than nothing. It gives me hope that, no matter how much of a bigoted, bro-cultured mess that law enforcement in Canada and the United States may currently be, it can be changed for the better.”

Scores Unsettled – “Why changing the soundtrack on familiar clips makes for powerful critique”

Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds – “The Gormans, too, argue that ways of thinking that now seem self-destructive must at some point have been adaptive. And they, too, dedicate many pages to confirmation bias, which, they claim, has a physiological component. They cite research suggesting that people experience genuine pleasure—a rush of dopamine—when processing information that supports their beliefs. “It feels good to ‘stick to our guns’ even if we are wrong”

Basic Income Is Already Transforming Life and Work In a Postindustrial Canadian City – “So far, the evidence suggests that more money makes people’s lives better, and given the cost of poverty, a basic income likely won’t break the bank. It would probably be too much to say that a monthly stipend below Canada’s low-income measure will transform the country’s economy overnight, but it could start transforming the lives of individuals and their communities.”

Nothing to read here this week.

US-Drohnenkrieg: Amnesty International erhöht Druck auf Bundesregierung – “Amnesty International hat einen Bericht veröffentlicht, der Deutschland als Mittäter im US-Drohnenkrieg verantwortlich macht. Die Bundesregierung müsse klären, ob am Militärstützpunkt Ramstein Völkerrecht gebrochen wird.”

ZAD, pour l’autodéfense et la communalité – Alèssi Dell’Umbria – “Cela fait donc onze jours que les habitants de la ZAD de Notre-Dame-des-Landes sont exposés à une attaque militaire en règle. Deux mille cinq cent gendarmes mobiles, dont des maîtres-chiens, plusieurs véhicules blindés et deux hélicoptères sont engagés dans l’opération, ainsi que des drones de surveillance. A ce jour, la Gendarmerie Mobile aura tiré 8000 grenades lacrymogènes et 3000 grenades explosives, causant deux cent blessés dont une dizaine gravement atteints -il est même miraculeux qu’il n’y ait pas eu encore de morts dans nos rangs, vu le niveau de violence employée par les militaires.”
