Comment on Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content

I just want to make it clear that we don’t like Nazis either—we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse.
Are Musky and Hamish McKenzie’s friends because that sound like the same bullshit he would say. Also, hasn’t platforming actually been shown to work?

It's the only thing that works. Shouting Nazis into silence is the best early way to deal with them. Show up to protest in huge numbers, deplatform them, force them to scurry back into the shadows.
Most importantly of all, keep them from recruiting more.
Once these efforts fail, all you're left with is violence, and violence will come, because the Nazis love it.
