When I heard about the issues at Substack, my immediate thought was, shit, David’s on there. I’ve always tried to live by Popper’s observation of the Tolerance Paradox. If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance wins. Nazi ideology is based on intolerance, full stop. It also relies on human psychology where if you repeat things enough by exploiting media, the repetition makes things normal. Normalised intolerance has never served human society well. Business models that rely on intolerant views to bring traffic don’t deserve to exist. Let the Nazis find their own echo chambers and shut down avenues that allow their views to be normalised as free speech. Free speech has consequences and it’s not as if history hasn’t shown us what they are. I’ll follow you wherever you go. I hope you and others on the platform use your power to influence Substack to shut down Nazi ideology proponents.
