"I use “Nazis” throughout .."
Substack is an online service where you post articles (like this) but also have them emailed out to subscribers that may or may not have paid. I have been such a paying subscriber to support new users of the system in their "getting off the ground" stage.
It recently had a Nazi/right-wing problem and they have dealt with it in, well, an interesting yet typically Silicon Valley tech bro approach.
Over in Mastodon I saw the Substack Has A Nazi Opportunity post from Ken White, read it, was impressed by both the argument and the easy reading style.
It is the note attached at the end that I wish to draw your attention to:
I use “Nazis” throughout in this post as shorthand to refer to an array of right-wing bigots and assholes with the secure knowledge that doing so will offend and annoy the people I intend to offend and annoy.
I shall borrow this and use it now and for ever more, it's is perfect.
