I read yesterday where a reporter from The Atlantic referred to Substack as “the intellectual dark web.” The implication is that all writers, scholars, artists, and other philosophical thinkers who presently challenge the authoritarian Left’s hard turn towards a neo-Stalinist state, in which truth is decided by a central Prime Ministerial committee and disseminated by state-run media to the masses, from whom discussion, debate or dissent is neither required nor allowed, are compromised, wrong-thinking, subversives operating murkily in the shadows.
