I'm pretty sure I just found the best social justice warrior on Substack.
An interlude.
I’ve kept the paywall down this week to share the socialist content, but it’s going back up soon.
If you appreciate my work, please consider subscribing at $5/month or $50/year. You’ll get access to all my articles behind the paywall, and other exclusive perks.
Since we’ve been doing some heavy socialist content lately, I thought I’d lighten things up.
I want to introduce you to a new best friend I discovered on Substack Notes.
One of the things I enjoy most about Notes is being exposed to different people with all different types of perspectives.
And some of those perspectives are those of unhinged social justice warriors in their natural habitat.
On Twitter, I would just block these people. But on Substack, they roam freely in the wild.
And I think I just found the best social justice warrior on all of Substack.
Meet Chandra:
I met Chandra when my friend
shared one of my articles about the socialist conference on Substack notes.
Chandra replied, clearly not understanding that I’m pro-choice.
So I corrected her…and thus it began.
I think we can all agree that people who denounce capitalism are probably socialists…right? Apparently not. Chandra is surrounded by right-wingers EVERYWHERE!!!!
Here’s where we find out that Chandra used to work for the University of Florida for 19 years. I’m sure everyone is just shocked she came from higher education.
Chandra just kept responding to the same things she already responded to again and again, which demonstrates that she wasn’t at all upset and was definitely hinged into reality.
Then, Chandra left Notes and came over to my main Substack and started replying there:
She also started replying to other people:
At first, I truly thought Chandra was a parody account.
I truly did. I thought, “There is no possible way this is real.”
Then I saw this post…and I was POSITIVE that it HAD to be a parody:
How could this POSSIBLY be real?
But then I found Chandra’s Facebook page:
And then I found Chandra’s Twitter, where Chandra had posted an interview she did about being white and woke at work:
She was real.
A real social justice warrior in the wild that looks so much like a parody account that I barely believe the evidence right before my eyes.
I think it’s important to look at case studies like this because it’s important to know that these people do exist, in real life, and you may run into one when you least expect it.
When you do, keep calm. Engage them only as much as is necessary to prove your point. And the back away very very VERY slowly.
You want to make sure you get out of there without getting spit on, or something.
How would you handle encountering someone like this?

Fight back against the woke and support my work.
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.
Here’s how you can help.

I hate to reduce someone to a diagnosis, but one does wonder what is going on w/Chandra.
I encounter people like her on Quora from time to time. I hate them. They create a highly charged emotional dialogue, and there is zero chance you are going to be able to engage them or talk them off the ledge. They barely know that you exist, you're just a convenient place for them to spew their outrage. I would like not to admit it, but these people do have the power to upset my day, so it's better just to block them.
The unfortunate truth is that I think of the best replies to people while I am doing other stuff, such as walking around outside.
People are much too emotionally charged up. If we actually cared to solve some of the problems in our country and world, people need to work hard to keep the natural emotional reactions tamped down online and be respectful and gracious.
The fact that people are being fed different information and opinion in their various silos is another contributor to the problem.
An example, on the trans issue, I am convinced that liberal people have nowhere near sufficient information to understand it, because any critique of same is just not permitted on the platforms they use. And if you do critique it on some social media platform, you are a bigot. How do you explain to people that the pervasive sea of information they swim in, not just the news media and politicians but entertainment culture as well, is delivering an inaccurate picture? Though I do believe in trying, trying is huge. Sometimes you must build the altar in one place so the fire can come down somewhere else.
It is good to listen to music while you engage the culture battle, it steadies your head. I alternate between classical and instrumental bluegrass while reading.
