Woke communists seek to control Substack
The woke commies have infiltrated substack and want to censor writers and commenters
I pulled up Notes tonight, and what comes up in my feed? This crap from a woke communist asshole by the name of James Richardson:
So, on Substack, naturally, the top authors can not possibly be expected to waste their time ‘hunting’ for the next @Anne Helen Petersen among the sub-1000s.
It’s a simple issue of probability math and the fact that these folks are super busy.
So, the top writers who are trying to be generous generally focus on those authors they already know (long before Substack), or who are recommended by close friends in the author community they built off the platform.
@Rob Henderson is one of the rare, generous spirits here who seems to dive into the moshpit of sub-1,000s out of curiosity.
Again, screening who can become a writer is in the best interest of those trying to get ‘baptized’ and the entire network of writers.
The monetization on Substack comes from readers anyways, not having tons of writers.
I no longer see a benefit to letting anyone sign up and start writing.
Strong communities are hierarchical, gatekeep entry, enforce rules, and create vertical obligation (master-apprentice).
No single digital network has ever really understood this basic anthropological truth in my experience, which is why they eventually fail.
Arrogant woke commies seek to control discourse
First, who the hell is this elitist turd to decide who can and cannot publish on Substack? Second, who is he kidding? Under the guise of “top writers finding new talent,” he advocates censorship and gate-keeping to deplatform those he dislikes.
We’ve seen this crap over and over again on social media. Woke communists like this guy seek to infiltrate, establish control, and then begin silencing anyone who opposes their vile and twisted anti-human ideology.
He isn’t the first to do this either; I’ve seen others. But he is one of the most arrogant and stupid. He seeks to cloak his desire for power with some of the lamest justifications I’ve seen. Does he believe that we cannot see him for what he is? Or does he not care?
Substack will die if the woke commies win
If Substack were to go down the road he wants them to go down, it would spell the doom of the entire platform. Some of the most exciting and appealing writers are those with small or non-existent audiences (when they first start publishing). But then they begin to grow as they find their niche and their readers find them.
This totalitarian communist asshole would shut that process down and cut off the flow of creativity that has made Substack such a great place to write and publish. Again and again, these depraved creatures keep trying to take control of Substack. It galls them to no end that they have been unable to seize power and deplatform voices that they do not like.
I made my thoughts clear in a few posts about this:
In the process of responding, I ran into another commie infiltrator:
The woke commies want power to dominate and control Substack
Notice the common thread with these scumbags? Censorship and control over who can and cannot publish on Substack. Always, always, always these totalitarian communists want the power to control what is thought, written, and said by other human beings. And they always have their “reasons” for doing so, none of which have anything to do with their real motives.
So far, Substack has withstood their attacks and lies. Still, if the people running Substack ever start giving in, it will be time to look for a new home for your writing because then it will just be a matter of time before “unacceptable writers and content” are shut down and removed from Substack.
I wonder how the commies I’ve featured in this post would feel if somebody decided that neither of them was an “acceptable” writer, and their substacks were shut down and their content removed? No doubt they would both flee to Mastodon or some other commie platform and shriek about how they were just trying to “make substack better” or some other bullshit. 🙄

If Substack cancels one of the writers to which I subscribe or to which I donate, I will cancel them all. It’s an information hill on which I’m ready to die.
The Left destroy everything that they touch. Ultimately, ‘progressivism’ is a synonym for nihilism. I believe we are seeing the hard limits of this ersatz religion play out now. It only remains how much damage they can cause in their death rattle.
They cannot be reasoned with, they cannot be bargained with, and they absolutely will not stop, until they have destroyed everything that is good and worth preserving in the world.
