Let's call it "Substack logic," the process by which a pseudointellectual argues "the Floyd protests" caused an increase in gun homicides among children by citing

two papers that quite firmly lay blame at the feet of *the police* for killing people and then retaliating against the public for complaining about it.

@maxkennerly Let's not call it "Substack logic." In other words, let's not pretend there's any connection between using substack and any certain faculty with logic. If you want to criticize one user, then do that. But please don't use MAGA logic where one transgression implicates a wide range of diverse people.
