once again, fuck nazis and those who support them, who are, basically, nazis

Substack says it will neither remove nor demonetise Nazi content, that they’re going to keep supporting Nazi content with exposure and money because they think that’s for the best.

You know how I keep banging the “Elon Musk’s experiment with turning Twitter into a fascist propaganda and disinformation fountain must fail” drum? How I keep saying you need to get the fuck off Twitter because this attempt to make money by promoting and funding fascists can’t be allowed to work?

This is one of the biggest fucking reasons why.

And yeah, I’ve called exactly this scenario out. Repeatedly. And now it’s happened. Substack’s owners have decided that funding Nazis and promoting their genocidal content is safe and could be profitable.

Sure, Twitter’s losing money still right now, but if the people stay, then eventually, the advertisers will come back.

Substack have figured that out and are betting on it.

And it’s all because Elon opened the door, and people didn’t fucking walk away. Well, some did – the departure wave was the largest migration away from a site in Internet history.

But it wasn’t close to enough. Most people stayed. And now other social/blogging sites are saying, “Hey, why not Nazis?”

That’s what “stay and fight” gets you on Twitter.

Gods fucking dammit what does it take?
