Why I'm leaving Substack!

r0

Doesn’t this guy have a Beatle to assassinate?

Aw, I was on the fence and now I have to start subscribing.

Who is this person?

When did Trans become the VIPs of this planet for everyone to pander to them and what do they want? Everyone to go through gender conversion just because they went through it?

[quote] Who is this person?

A 400 lb “economist” with no degree or credentials who somehow got a gig working for leftist think tanks.

I always had the feeling Nathan Tankus was autistic or at least Asperger's. I wonder if he ever leaves his basement. But he's very smart despite the lack of credentials. Don't know why he's all upset about the trans, though.

Incel.

[quote] Don't know why he's all upset about the trans, though.

He naturally feels an affinity for fellow incels (=trans)

He's right.

#1, What is Substack?

#2. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A FLOATING HEAD OF DOOM!!!

I only care what attractive people think.

KTHXBYE!

We're polishing our Trans-Lover credentials with this gorgeous couple now, so don't let the door hit you, Tankus, sweetie.

The Left is trying to destroy civil liberties.

They get off on any attention or ‘harassment’ they may get. That’s part of the kink.

He looks like he smells. As do Grace and Danny Lavery. I physically recoiled from both pictures.

Both ugly and unfashionable. They look like they are trying to channel Olympia Dukakis in Tales from the City, and failing.

The fact that Glenn Greenwald posts on Substack is reason enough to quit it.

It's not because they ran out of snacks?

Before I look at the link, is he a fat ugly man with a beard?

All three of them (at both links) are, r20.

Why, R18?

Because he provides actual proof that the “Russian collusion” narrative is utter bullshit?

R7 his fiancée / fiancé is trans

So that makes him 400 lb tranny fucker

What an amazing attractive couple at r13 link

I misread the title, Why I'm Leaving Tubesteak.

Did they misspell Starbucks?

[quote] The Left is trying to destroy civil liberties.

The Right doesn't deserve them.

From the looks of him he's leaving Substack because he found out they don't sell sub sandwiches.

Fatso has confused Substack with Shake Shack.

This person really doesn't get the whole free speech thing. Substance is just a newsletter platform people use. This person wants to control what other people say to their own subscribers.

I'm glad Substack hasn't budged. I wish Twitter had shown more backbone on this.

That said, Glenn Greenwald is pretty much a Russian propagandist these days, but I don't begrudge him his Substack.

Is she a leaving sandwich shop franchise? They make a great Italian BMT.

Op: What is a basic farm pig picture doing in the thread?

R22 go back to licking Glenn Greenwald's ballsac

Yep he looks like he escaped from the farm.

And we have DRAMA!

The Laverys (pictured above) apparently pissed off the writers that are trying to force Substack to remove accounts they don't like, when they wrote their ode to Substack in the Times.

more like Shlubstack

What’s “substack?” Sounds like a sandwich at Subway.

Who’s he? Yes, I know someone already answered, but still, who’s he?

[quote] targeted harassment of individual marginalized people,

Marginalized! Oh my sides! No specimens have ever been more doted over or been the subject of as much hand-wringing as our beloved Trans.

Is Tankus his real last name? If yes it Seems kind of like a cruel joke from god?

Tankus and his fiance are one reason why I can't bring myself to hate trans people even if I'm not buying what they're selling. Imagine transitioning to being a "man" just to partner up with an absolute unit who looks like he smells.

The Laverys are another example of an astonishingly ugly and unpleasant couple who you know are completely miserable together.

And they say they're living their best lives. The mind reels at what their lives must have been like in the beforetimes.

WHY I’M EATING SUBSTACK!!!

Chortle chortle, r39!

Grace Lavery was fantasising this week about a trans woman with a uterus transplant being able to have an abortion. Just a natural progression from top surgery.

Calling out this bullshit isn't hating trans people.

How long until the first trans woman with a uterus transplant becomes addicted to having abortions?

"They make me feel like a real woman!" - Future trans woman

I can't be bothered to research these people and their strenuous pronoun situations, so please help me out here to follow r39's post: is Nathan Tankus an FTM? And s/he is engaged to a person who is cis? or trans? identifying as...?

I can tell by the picture that the Laverys are both trans.

I read it as ‘Why I’m leaving Starbucks’

The FRAPPUCINOS ARE TRANSPHOBIX!!!

I'm having a Starbucks latte right now, r45

How old is this guy? I think he has bigger problems to worry about than Substack.

Nice discussion.

CANCEL EVERYONE!!!!

I find this public announcements to be like people who announce on DL "BLOCKED" or tell us they're leaving after some perceived (or real, it is DL after all) slight.

Just go and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

R51 that wouldn't fulfill their desire for 🚨🚨ATTENTION🚨🚨 and DRAMA where they are the stars standing up for (trendy) righteous causes!

The Streisand Effect for Substack has been substantial.

Substack is just another blogging platform, just better monetized. The only people who care are self-absorbed journalists like the one quoted in the OP and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, asshats like Glenn Greenwald. Both sides claim they are there to protect open discourse, and as usual, both are doing the exact opposite.

OP's writer doesn't seem to comprehend how publishers work. They publish a range of opinions, not just yours, sweetie. You have the right to be offended. You don't have the right to wish other authors cancelled. Fuck you, and your narcissism. Good luck with negotiating further obscurity.

Too hideous to pay attention to.

[quote]Grace Lavery was fantasising this week about a trans woman with a uterus transplant being able to have an abortion

Who the hell fantasizes about that? For many women, it's not an easy decision to come to. Some even have regrets. Abortion shouldn't be treated as birth control.

Grotesque fetishists. Worthy of a block/ignore.

DRAMA

It’s funny that the two most prominent voices on sub stack, Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, R very well educated leftists.

They just happen to be smart enough to see the danger posed by freaks pretending to be liberals.

Glenn isn't a leftist anymore, he's attacking leftists. He built his career not off attacking right wingers, but left wingers. He's anything but liberal. And now he's a rumored Russian asset.

Matt Taibbi also likes to attack liberals, but not as much as Glenn!

R61

If a right winger is pointing out the problems with other right wingers, are they suddenly left wingers?

Or are you just fucking retarded?

Anyone falsely accusing progressives of being Russian assets is a paid shill for the Chinese communist party trying to foment war with Russia.

Wokeism is destroying liberalism.
