Here is my issue with censorship/ Cancel Culture you cant stop them really. Its a waste of time to try. People will get angry and sound off their views on other platforms just as bad or worse since they have a further bone to pick. Much like business who tried to stop torrenting it doesnt stop them just drives them to the fringes of other sites. Yes some very bad speech should be looked at on the platform and if they want continue they are free to do it elsewhere (That is America after all).
Writers who walk away from Substack to protest "content" they don't agree with just supports the "cancel culture" narrative and encourages more platforms to write about it. I applaud you for thinking critically on your own and staying with Substack.
I remember Mosque shooter Bissonnette said he was inspired by the words of Ben Shapiro who demonized all Muslims as potential terrorists. Shapiro's words ir thise of anyone else who incited hate crimes, should not be seen as 'different' or 'alt right' political views equivalent to other political views & should not be platformed IMO
