Oftentimes people can’t deal with opinions that don’t reflect their own. This is a non elastic mindset. One that will remain in a place of ignorance or in a silo. My dearest friend and I don’t agree on many issues but I still learn from her. There is a saying that goes, blinded by the light. The way I take it, it means when confronted with truth, people will run. The truth is harsh and doesn’t spare feelings. It can destroy you. This is why we live in fantasy and create lies and bubbles to protect our fragile selves. Not preaching. So, that said, I so respect you for your courage to state your case. My friend also says, they always shoot the messenger. I subscribe to you for a reason. You are the reason.🔥
Thank you so much for "What Went Wrong in the Democratic Party?" It's the best analysis I've read and I've shared it with my colleagues in the theater world.
You're doing amazing work and I am happy that your subscribers are growing! We need you and people like you to make meaningful change. Thank you. 🕊️🤲♥️
I’m sorry you lost subscribers. I imagine many of us are fairly burned out and have to withdraw awhile as a defense mechanism to just handle the facts as they unfold. The world looks dangerous and on the cusp of major breakdowns of functioning. Keep doing what you are doing and follow the four agreements which you usually do. You are impeccable with your word. You do your best. You do not make make assumptions. Now check if the attacks feel personal. The agreement with myself that I have regularly violated is taking things personally. Try not to. Hard to do when being attacked viciously but necessary for happiness. Lawyers are a buffer too. Keep going! We are with you even when we take a break from consuming more harsh facts. We have to gear up and we cannot tirelessly fight without breaks.
To be clear my substack subscriber count went up, which is wonderful. I lost several thousand social media followers. Which is fine. I'd rather have a core of thoughtful people than a lot of those not willing to think critically.

Mr Rashid. I might upgrade if you put at end of each email "how to reduce the number of Rashid emails"

Could the social media losses have been bots?
Certainly possible but also I have the angry DMs and emails from people telling me to F off and they're unfollowing, so definitely not just bots.
I’m so glad! Your audience will continue to grow.
