“Violent ideologies”? Do they mean those that call for *unjustified* violence, or are they going to insist on a general *pacifism*? And who gets to decide which classes are, or ought to be, “protected”? Caplan is right: Substack management has taken a step into quicksand.

Does Bukele locking up all the criminals constitute a call to violence?

When people call Russians Orcs it seems to be OK, but I doubt the same is true in reverse.

Russians are Orcs? I thought the public consensus was that it was people of African Decent. Which was why TSR changed them.

Any state with a police force is using violence. All political ideologies that advocate the existence of a state are advocating violence.

So when they say "violent ideologies" they just mean "ideologies we decide we don't like".
