I stopped after reading the use of a nebulous “they” scare quote which lets the reader fill in whoever “they” are, and which is basically a right wing dogwhistle. Consider for example a recent analysis of a certain right wing talk show. I think substack should be banned completely from HN.

What? So you want to read only left wing things? Personally I prefer to continue seeing both sides because there is no good side.

  Yes. But that’s because the right has become synonymous with, or at least tacitly supports, insane racists, fascists, bigots and more unpleasant adjectives. You can be pedantic about our wording and try and slide the issue but the data is there. There are plenty of issues where you can have multiple sides or perspectives and want to allow debate. But that is not what is happening.
