That's the tactic of state and non-state censors always: Let's find the first target that everyone hates so nobody cares when they're silenced. Then we'll have instituted this power and then we can use it far more widely. You have to fight it in all instances, from the start.

These people are so fucking broken. It's not enough for them to refuse to read a site or refuse to write there, which is totally within their rights. They can't stand that there's any venue they can't control, where people are free to speak. They're little petty wannabe despots.

You can watch them formulate their tyrannical little plot in real-time: to contaminate Substack with their censorship pathology by pretending it's just about one writer. That's how they seize control: after that, every writer will be subject to their repressive campaigns:pic.twitter.com/33ISAIzRx1

Just curious: Why did
@ParkerMolloy accuse@annehelen of supporting a "bigotry factory" and demand she boycott it, but not direct those same accusations/demands to@rgay, who has a hugely successful Substack page? This censorship campaign seems, as usual, oddly selective.Show this thread

If Molloy had her way she would remove Glenn, Jesse, Andrew Sullivan, Taibbi et al from Substack immediately. It's not about one writer.

I think the point is setting this precedent will mean you will never know what non-assholes you're not reading as they will be censored before you see them.

Imagine being so solipsistic and out of touch with real oppression that you can say with a straight face that Substack is “a bigot factory.”

It's fucking pathetic, but you have to defer to her proclamations.
