      What’s the deal with Substack that makes it a Nazi enabling platform?

      It’s an article by Charlie Angus, former NDP member of Parliament of Canada. He is somebody Canadians can trust and is definitely not a Nazi.

          I’ve heard the roman alphabet is exclusively used when Nazis write online… True defenders of freedom only use ____________

          same sense that we call twitter a nazi platform without accusing everybody using it of being a nazi,

          Well you say that…

        Should move his blog off of the Nazi enabling platform.

        Is he on Mastodon or another spineless politician only on X, Instagram and Facebook?

        Edit: Also never called the author a Nazi. Substack are for platforming and enabling monetization of Nazi content.

          You suggest Mr. Angus is spineless for not having a Mastodon account and I take issue with that…

          He has stepped up to call for US boycotts and to organize the Canadian resistance. In fact I’d call him one of the few Canadians who have shown their spine and used their position to bring the idea of a resistance movement to the masses. He’s amplified his message now collaborating with Meidas Touch Network.

          It’s true that Substack isn’t the best platform of this type, there are better alternatives, and Nazis and many nasty people use it and profit from it. However, quibbling over this platform Mr. Angus uses in a way that dismisses his works frankly is quite irritating to me. Excuse me for venting frustration at you.

            I suggested the majority of politicians are spineless and are refusing to get up from the Nazi table or leave American oligarchs corporate media. Calling for American boycotts while also refusing to leave their tech/platforms is still fucking hypocritical.

            Even if someone does something you approve of you can still criticize their hypocrisy.

            Now please take your irritation out on some Nazis or .ml tankies instead.

              No one who uses meaningless, loaded epithets like “tankie” or throws around slogans like “lock her up” in 2025 is politically serious. You’re all up in your feelings. This is about your personal damage. If your motivations are wrong, you’re going to fuck up even if you’re pointed the right way.

          It’s be like Nazi opposition only participating in debates set up by Nazis to foil them. They should at least validate the alternatives with their presence.
