Why should anyone pay attention to these busybodies who presume to tell us what we can and cannot read and watch? From Bretigne Shaffer at lewrockwell.com:
Apparently, there’s a “Nazi problem” on Substack.
I wasn’t aware of this. And I spend a decent amount of time on the site. I publish there myself, and I follow a good number of writers there. I initially went because of the promise to allow free speech on topics that had been actively censored on other social-media platforms, and I have stayed because of that free speech, but also because of the quality of discourse there. It tends to be much more civil and thoughtful than on other platforms.
But now I am told, by one Jonathan Katz of the Atlantic, that there is a “Nazi problem” on the platform that I should be concerned about. I’ve also been asked to sign on to a letter condemning, not only the Nazis themselves (apparently there are 16 of them), but Substack management, for “platforming and monetizing” these folks.
So here’s my message to Jonathan Katz and all the others who are concerned about the freedom of some people to express noxious and offensive views on Substack. This is my heartfelt message to them, and I mean it with all the respect and goodwill I can muster:
Go to Hell.
Bravo!!!
