Substack enables Nazis like Trump. Don’t give them clicks.

    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.

    In the same sense that we call twitter a nazi platform without accusing everybody using it of being a nazi, same logic applies here.

    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. Link to Mr. Angus' Youtube Channel as an alternative

    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.

    Who the fuck is says to “lock her up”? Who is her in this context? And are you serious that oblivious to what’s going on at .ml?

    This conversation is about Substack enabling the monetization of Nazis and the people using their services propping them up.

    Go take your meds old mad. It’s not 2025 anymore.

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

    I expect non Nazis to grow a spine and to leave the platform that benefit and enrich Nazis once it’s been made public.

    I expect people to want to kill Nazis and not lick their boots.

    I agree that Charlie should leave substack.

    I'm saying that substack allows Nazis on their platform because substack wants money and have no morals.

    Yes, hence my original comment saying don’t give them clicks, they are Nazis.

    Would RSS feeds count as clicks? RSS feeds request the page content so it can display locally but you don't visit the website directly.

    Now you are finding loopholes. It’s still using their platform. Just don’t go to Nazi websites. Simple as that.
