Mills is a legend. Reminds me of a Teddy Roosevelt quote: "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well." Defending free speech while empowering writers is a mission that is too important to fail. Keep up the fantastic work, comrades!
Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞
I think that searching for evidence-based probabilities, or the most valid looking information patterns, that suggest the first/foundational principles around a problem, and subsequently moving up to the next theoretical layer of principles from there if deemed necessary, grounds idealism/exploration with pragmatism/explanation. When you use techniques to change your focus or awareness to broaden this search, and combine it with intuition and good faith conversation, all of that together is what good critical-thinking is. And it results in more exponential understanding of reality.
Jewish messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only come to reinforce the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals...
The transnational, transracial, transsexual, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond races, peoples, cultures) and that are the daily sustenance of our schools, in the media, in our pop culture, at our universities, and on our streets . . . have reduced our biosymbolic identity and our ethnic pride to their minimal expression.
No country is running its own race during this invasion, because it is all a political agenda led by the UN and put forward by the Jews and their puppets (politicians). Most people just won't know or understand that this is a political agenda. However, some manage to understand that the politicians are deliberately working to import Muslims and replace the people, but that's where it ends, they're like a computer that can't go on because the program doesn't allow it.
I'm unsure how this relates to my comment unless you're making a claim about popular educational systems. But you might find it interesting why I don't like demonizing Jewish people, and I think you are looking at things in too low resolution: Jewish people are not wholly equal to bad Jewish people, or the Khazarians, whose homeland is ancient Ukraine, and who have been posing as Jews for thousands of years.
And this doesn't go into the negative ET support the Khazarian/globalist mafia used to have according to Alex Collier, Elena Danaan, and Michael Salla, which is connected to the supposed Dark Fleet, the breakaway space Nazis who fleed to Antarctica after World War II and were unfortunately in some ways, the true winners of the war-- they got the most power out of it, between the most sophisticated technology which was ET tech, and potentially thousands of other nazis infiltrated the US via Project Paperclip, which was likely beneficial for the Dark Fleet. The Khazarians supposedly created the Nazis in some sense, and Hitler supposedly had Rothschild blood, putting him in the 13 Khazarian bloodlines that are actually one bloodline; these families are most likely hybrids between DNA of humans and that of the ancient reptilian annunaki ET Enlil-- who wanted humanity to be an obedient gold-mining slave race and plays a role in The Bible. Trump was supposedly asked to run by a group of US generals which the Q posts have something to do with, and there's a global movement of bad guy ass kicking that's most likely going on that includes the help of benevolent ET's.
So I could potentially be wrong with anything I've said here and most people will think I am nuts, and they are better at critical-thinking than I am.. but I think saying this globalist/bankster mafia/cabal is merely "Jews" is divisive, low-definition framing which strengthens them, I think it's more accurate to call them the Khazarian Mafia; and they go by many names, it's something they are used to as these child-sacrificing Baal worshippers were killing merchants and stealing the victim's identities to make more money in ancient times.
Speaking about the issue of principles and pragmatism, I am currently writing a lesson that I learned over the past week, which is "Being flexible and having no plan are two entirely different things". And while browsing for references, I encountered this beautiful write-up! Coincidence? I think not!
This is helpful. Yes, there is a difference in the types of "hard" we undergo. What I glean here is that ambiguity -- of what is meaningful, of what matters, of the value of time and effort -- can be so discouraging in the face of no, or little, affirmation from others.
It seems to me that it's vital for the individual (in my case: me) to derive intrinsic rewards from, for instance, creative expression, rather than become co-dependent on external approval (subscribers, money, attaboy remarks). The creative process (for me, typically, that's writing) is the cake....recognition and praise is the icing on top.
I sincerely hope that as the CEO of Substack you stay true to your ideals even when things get hard. Too many other social media platforms have sacrificed anything related to ideals to making money. There are some things in an absolute sense are right and wrong. Everyone has a different border on where that line lies, but we all recognize the line. I sincerely hope you and the board members of Substack make the hard calls on right and wrong, even if that means silencing some voices. While there should always be room for thoughtful debate and disagreement, that doesn't mean the most heinous voices should always be heard. Many of us came to Substack to avoid the cesspool that other social media sites have become because of the voices they tolerate and blind hands-off approach. We can and should be better. I sincerely hope you and all others on this site make that your mission. It will certainly be mine when I post. Again, I hope you stay true to thoughts you presented.
Full screen, Chromecast support, video sitemaps, more stable player (in Android) and a few other minor improvements and then you have a fantastic tool that combined with the Substack experience will make video use a very enjoyable experience.
I ran into this conundrum when adding video to my posts. I was really tempted to leverage the Substack player, but the value of building an audience on YouTube at the same time - double dipping, essentially - was just too enticing.
Video has become central to what I do here, but I just don’t feel like it’s worth using the video player just yet.

You're a gutless worm . . .
Love the last sentence "Hard Way Is the Only Way". As Ryan Holiday and Stoics put it: Obstacle Is The Path.

Thanks for sharing Chris, and fantastic work.
It's feeling like a great journey, Chris!
Yes - it sounds like my cover letter !
It must be wonderful to work at a company where your boss thinks deeply & encourages you to think deeply. Chris, Your employees are very lucky.

Invictus -- by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
Does this mean substack employees will try to endure tough mental challenge, or simply they will have to work overnight with rarely any sleep?😢
So ... is video an afterthought, a way to polish and improve what you had?
In any case, I am soooo happy that video is now part of Substack. Hopefully it will grow and improve.
Thanks!!! :)
I am very excited about video and think there is a *lot* more we can do
I agree. The potential is great.
Full screen, Chromecast support, video sitemaps, more stable player (in Android) and a few other minor improvements and then you have a fantastic tool that combined with the Substack experience will make video use a very enjoyable experience.
Thanks!!!
