Yes there are pro-Nazi publications on Substack. No, I don’t think we should do anything about them. It’s cliché but I think the marketplace of ideas is working.

The author lists at least 4 publications promoting Nazi or White supremacy views:

  • Andkon’s Reich Press

  • White-Papers

  • Turning Point Stocks

  • The Tribalist

They all have either low or no “engagement,” and one of them hasn’t had a post in over a year.

One overtly Nazi newsletter called The Tribalist recently published a fawning interview with Billy Roper, a former skinhead who led the most prominent American neo-Nazi organization in the 1990s.

This is the post: thetribalist.substack.c….

As of now, the post has no likes, no comments, and no reposts.

But when platforms are too permissive, they risk being overrun by bigots, harassers, and other bad-faith actors who drive away other users

As far as I can tell, Substack hasn’t promoted to me any Notes from Nazi publications. Quite the contrary actually. For instance I was shown a piece arguing convincingly there were a lot of anti-semitism in North American academia: substack.com/@tianwen/n….

In other words, neo Nazis are yelling into the void. Great, let them continue.
