A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

@_elena Yeah, I'm not happy about Nazi's, racists, etc. on Substack, but they also have Rick Wilson, HCR, Joyce Vance, and other fine progressives - some of the most important Antifa voices of this generation. I'll pass on the boycott. Let others see what Andrew Tate is all about. That's what we call free speech.

"Rick Wilson, HCR, Joyce Vance"

We convince them to move

"That's what we call free speech"

Speech intended to limit the freedoms of those who are women, nonwhite, trans, gay, nonChristian, people with disabilities, etc is not free speech

How do you define speech against freedom as free speech?

@benroyce You are more generous than I am. The writers on Substack who made a name for themselves as antifascists should know better. Period. I have no use for people like that. Put your money where your mouth is.

It's disappointing, because there's a lot of people I've had to write off, but the eighth grader in me learning about propaganda during the Holocaust just *can't*.
