Academics Submitted Passages from "Mein Kampf" to Gender Studies Journals - It was Accepted "We rewrote a section of *Mein Kampf* as intersectional feminism, and this journal has accepted it..." It has long been known to most people that most feminist, gender, fat acceptance, and similar "studies" departments don't exactly have the most rigorous academic standards. In fact, they are often a joke. Many of their studies have terrible methodology and are really just based…
$1,000,000 Question: Is Mining Worth it? Mining has been around the crypto world from the beginning, and yet, it is now out of reach for almost everybody. Mining farms in 3rd world countries with cheap electricity dominate the mining business, increasing difficulty and inconsistent value make it hard to predict whether mining is worth it or not, and different coins are more difficult to mine than others. I've been intensely researching this topic for the last few days and…
My Olive Branch to the Right - Let's Break up the Monopolies Censoring You This brief article is inspired by the following statement posted by a right-wing activist. My own politics, as I repeatedly emphasize, center around supporting freedom of speech from a Left-Wing point of view. I think the issue of media censorship is a fantastic argument for the Left and Right joining forces. Let's start with the Right, since I assume most of the people reading this are probably…
Censorship - Facebook (& Other Social Media) Making a Huge Mistake on Political Content As many of you all know, sites like Facebook and YouTube have trending sections that are curated by the site. In the case of YouTube incredibly unpopular videos can get into trending - indicating that it is basically just videos selected by YouTube - while on Facebook the process tends to be slightly more organic, although still politically biased. These measures almost never work as they…
Is Past Racism an Excuse to Hate Vaccines? I saw a post earlier that made me think about whether past racism is an acceptable excuse to not take vaccines, or at least the be skeptical of them. Here is the post: Let's briefly examine this. There are two at work here: First is that the history of medical malpractice involving testing unethically on black and brown people is a cause for medical skepticism. That history is real, and I do get why it would make some people…
Confessions of a Black Lives Matter Protester This may surprise some of my readers, but I have taken part in Black Lives Matter protests. However, I've also seen a dark side of the movement that I want to denounce. For the sake of my anonymity I may not give exact dates or locations, but this is the story of one event that deeply disturbed me. Now, if you came to this article expected either a full-throated defense of BLM, or a complete condemnation of the movement from a…
What Steemit Must Change to Stay Competitive Will Steemit's competitors like Publish0x kill off Steemit? The possible death of Steemit, and the collapse of the value of STEEM and Steem Dollars (SBD) has a lot of Steemit users, including myself, feeling very worried. Let's just say I'm glad that I diversified and started publishing on Publish0x and read.cash in addition to Steemit. https://www.publish0x.com/?a=pnel78MdKB&tid=p1…
A Dishonest Feminist Meme - Common Sense Disproves it Not long ago I was scrolling through Facebook, as I am wont to do, and unfortunately I stumbled across a very dishonest SJW meme that probably should go on the r/thathappened subreddit if it isn't there already. It is clearly a fabricated story, or a story of a woman who found a rarely and exceptionally disturbed man, that is used to bash all men. Without further ado, here it is: There is so much stupidity here that we…
Mattress Girl - A Saga of False Sexual Assault Charges and Blind Faith (The Columbia Rape Case) Sexual assault is a real, and serious, issue. Sometimes accusers are not taken seriously enough, but that doesn't mean that all accusations are true, or that the accused should be punished without a fair judicial process. The following is one such case where a witch hunt ensued and seriously damaged an innocent young man's life. It began in the frigid winter of 2013, when an…
During this Bullrush Litecoin maxed out at...$69 Exactly It's hard for me to imagine out community didn't push to this price point as a bit of a joke, but it is appreciated. I was watching when it happened and it stayed at almost exactly $69.00 for a few minutes before dropping. Now it's looking like we might be in for a rough time going forward :/ Still, I'm not above cheap humor, and it looks like a lot of Litecoiners aren't either! I found it fairly hilarious honestly 😂
The Left must stop Denouncing Pragmatism as "Respectability Politics" It turns out that if you are going to get anywhere as a political or social movement you need to be able to convince other people that your points are sound. It turns out, to convince people that your points are sound, you need to provide evidence for your arguments and make them in a somewhat reasonable way. Activities like violence, vandalism, and preventing other people from traveling places or talking…
Mattress Girl - A Saga of False Sexual Assault Charges and Blind Faith (Part 2) A lot of people seem to think that skepticism is a vice - and certainly not a virtue - but these people overlook the societal good that comes from skepticism. Skepticism doesn't mean not believing in anything or having no values, it means acknowledging the limits of our knowledge - knowing that we all have something to learn and that we can never assume that our first impression is right. It is…
Read.Cash vs. Publish0x: Advantages and Disadvantages Publish0x and Read.Cash are both blogging sites that allow users to earn crypto for their writing. However, which one is better? As a user of both sites, here is what I have found so far. https://www.publish0x.com?a=pnel78MdKB&tid=rc https://read.cash/r/AntiSJWLeft ****The argument for Read.Cash**** **$$$** With Marc De Mesel's recent contributions to the site, the payouts are pretty amazing right now. I've been on the…
Let's go Spammer Hunting! They're taking our tips! I remember two days ago when each point was worth about one cent from the fund, but now they are less than half of that. What happened? The fund and daily spending are the same, so the number of points being assigned must have gone up. How did this happen? The numerous spammers on this site are siphoning off as many of those points as possible with their "I already subscribed subscribe back?" and "good article dear"…
Good News About Spammers - At least they Aren't Flat Earthers! This is probably my favorite spam comment ever. To be fair, it is good to [be] a nice person, and the world *is* spherical, but can anybody help me see the connection between the two? I suppose I would rather have spammers who know the world is round than spammers who are flat-Earthers...
Publish0x Vs. Steemit - A One sided Blowout! I began cryptoblogging back in early 2018, on a site called Steemit. Nowadays you are much more likely to find me on Read.Cash or Publish0x. So what happened, and why do I now spend much more time on either of those sites than Steemit? Well, let's compare these sites. This articles compares Publish0x and Steemit, but I plan to write one comparing Read.Cash and Steemit next, so please follow if you want to see that (spoiler alert,…
Bitcoin SV Scandal - Most Network Transactions are Bots Potentially over 96% of SV network transactions are microtransactions that make no logical sense - often less than 1/10th of one cent. Before going further I want to acknowledge two things. First off, this article is largely based off of this fantastic expose from Bitcoinist.com: https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-sv-volume-is-heavily-manipulated-data-finds/ Second, I want to acknowledge that to some of you all this is not…
