Just signed up for a paid subscription. My own Substack column (BillHeath.substack.com) is free and likely to remain so. I encourage others who have something to say to start their own columns on substack.

I suspect you think of yourself as a conservative, while I think of myself as a liberal. They are very nearly the same thing, and in the great struggle of authoritarianism versus libertarianism they are natural allies. It's reaching a point where those who tacitly support the authoritarians need to wake up and walk away.

HI Bill,

I started poking around your platform and am looking forward to reading more. Thanks for putting your money up, I appreciate it very much. Substack is needed now more than ever. I love the people calling this a haven for white supremacists. I was more of a labeled conservative years ago, now I really don't like labels other than independent. I have strong libertarian leanings, and agree that liberals and libertarians must unite to prevent the anarchists from succeeding. Where is the ACLU these days? Hmmmm.....

Follow up: I intended to post this at 7:46 am today, but as I pushed the "publish" button a cryptic error message popped up. My tin-foil hat instantly came alive, and I started wondering who was censoring my post on censorship. Some hours later, a mysterious "server interference" was benignly blamed. Hmmm, as the narrative-crafting-pseudo-journos like to say "No matter the evidence, the motive is apparent. Therefore, the the indo-thinker is felt to be guilty."
