Any right of center substack tends to eventually attract absolutely insane commenters. It doesn't happen to slightly left of center substacks. Probably there are a broader spectrum of left of center publications and the audience is able to self select at a more granular level? I'm not really sure
I don’t think that BW is right of center - I’d say Obama Democrat. I agree with your point about right of center substacks. If you look at Hanania’s stack, you can sometimes see users calling for the genocide of black people.
I guess I'm not super invested in where bari's site falls on the political spectrum but it's clear that her *audience* is right of center and they must be getting something out of it
I guess you just moved the goalpost from Bari to her audience. I'm part of it, and am on the left. Perhaps next you won't be super invested in her whole audience, but only to the part of her audience that is right of center.

Next time you want to randomly argue about something inconsequential you have to do it within a week of when I make a comment
The comments are like the bulk of primary voters - reactionaries who are are on the right or left poles.
