I stumbled onto a chat somewhere recently here on Substack where a whole bunch of 'outraged' and 'sickened' folks were sharing and organizing a letter writing or messaging campaign to the Substack heads in order to demand something be done. They were all referencing the Katz article. They also had lists made of offending 'Nazi' Stacks. I had two thoughts. These people are hysterical, one, and two, even if those named Stacks had some truly awful content (probably not illegal, though), they sure weren't a problem for me, or anyone else here who cultivates their own community. It's not like any Nazis are reading and trying to disrupt my poetry writing. That's why I like it here. It's somewhat like the real world. I know there are crazies in it, but as long as they are ignored and kept to the margins, I can live in it. What these activist types want to do is actually the opposite, to draw everyone's attention to the crazies in order to destroy the platform for everyone else. It's not the crazies they are really after, it's just those they disagree with on any number of issues. They weaponize the worst, who have no actual purchase on the vast majority of normal people, to get at the moderates who do.

These marionettes think they are the smartest people in America, more evolutionary advanced than anyone who has ever lived. But all they really are is mediocre apologists for pederasts.
