The day just isn't complete without a tiresome retread of freeze peach rhetorical tropes. Oh, it's "important to engage with and understand" white supremacy. That's why we need to boost the voices of white supremacists! And give them money!

We are committed to upholding and protecting freedom of expression, even when it hurts. As @Ted Gioia has noted, history shows that censorship is most potently used by the powerful to silence the powerless

oh no, where these wittle powerless nazis will go? they are only backed by the likes of Thiel and Malofeev

Organizations who try to silence and censor writers are the ones who have a real Nazi problem.

you see, the real nazis were antifa all along

As Elle said in her letter: “We are still trying to figure out the best way to handle extremism on the internet. But of all the ways we’ve tried so far, Substack is working the best.”

We have investigated ourselves and found no problems. Any further criticism will be dismissed
