Unambiguity over understanding fallacy
Isn’t substack a Nazi site? Feels kind of weird that vegan content would be on there.
What I know is that many leading voices of the left, including MeidasTouch, Robert Reich, and Judd Legum are regularly publishing on Substack. I’m not trying to justify Nazi content at all - but isn’t there, to some degree, Nazi content on every major platform? (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Insta, etc.)
The allegations against Substack may be valid - but I think they shouldn’t lead us to dismiss content that’s crucial for the vegan movement.
Oh yeah, absolutely not saying that the content should be dismissed, just surprised that any vegans would touch the platform. I’ve just not heard anything good about it.
Veganism isn't core to his professional image, and it stood in the way of taking money from many potential sponsors.
