Nice piece Ian! Great allusions. I absolutely agree with you on the comparison to e.g. the attack on the Goths after Columbine. Saying that Gutenberg shouldn't share culpability for what's published on a printing press is fair as well. I didn't realize that Katz had found only 16 instances of "Nazi-inflected" speech on Substack - out of 17,000. Talk abut cherrypicking! The only place I disagree is that this article wasn't innocent or well-intentioned. It was a classic hatchet job aimed at a new and threatening form of media. Nice job!

If no one is calling you a Nazi, are you even Substacking?
