Neo-Nazi Substack account, NatSocToday, normalizes extermination of the Jews
One day, a Substack user hijacked my Note about missing Syrian women to spread a familiar lie: that Jews harvest organs. When another reader challenged him, he dismissed it as “just Jew talk.”
Curious, I looked into who he was and wrote about him. That led me to who he follows. Which led me to NatSocToday, a self-described National Socialist newsletter that glorifies Hitler, denies the Holocaust, and calls for the extermination of Jews.
This account does not exist in some hidden corner of the internet. It is on Substack, a platform that promotes itself as a home for independent writers and open discussion.
This article documents what NatSocToday publishes, how it frames itself, and what its existence says about Substack’s policies and values.
What NatSocToday publishes
The content is not subtle. Here are a few examples from recent Notes:
“The great country of Ireland is pushing back against their corrupt government and filthy Jewish NGOs.”
“These filthy [Orthodox] Jews are literally crazy.”
And this, under the heading “Never Forget”:
“Never Forget, a phrase often used by the filthy Jews. For us it has a different meaning… we will not forget or forgive the filthy Jews for any and all of his atrocities. We will smash the Jew. No mercy of camps this time, Jew. No. Mercy.”
Who they say they are
NatSocToday describes itself as:
“A National Socialist weekly newsletter featuring opinions and news important to the National Socialist and White Nationalist community.”
It claims to advocate for:
“The peaceful return of traditional White nations to the native White populations who built them.”
The disclaimer insists that all content is protected under the First Amendment, and explicitly prohibits overt calls for violence (“fedposting”). But that line is a thin veil.
The calls for genocide are not hidden. They are celebrated.
This neo-Nazi Substack account is not fringe
With over 500 subscribers, this is not a lone lunatic. It is a community. Community is what Substack promotes as one of its best features. And that is what makes it dangerous.
We do not know if these 500 subscribers were already part of a coordinated ideological project, or if they joined when the account became active. But what we do see is unmistakable: an effort to reframe Nazism as a viable political identity, to sanitize genocide as “ethno-defense,” and to recruit others through repetition and false legitimacy.
Substack, with its low moderation and “let the market decide” ethos, has become fertile ground for accounts like this one.
The free speech dilemma
After I published my initial article, a reader wrote in with a blistering critique of Christian antisemitism. In his view, antisemites should be mocked, not reported. Let them rant, he suggested, and give them the rope to hang themselves with.
There is merit to that approach. Mockery can be powerful. Exposure matters.
But what happens when these ideas do not stay isolated? When they grow — quietly, algorithmically, unchecked?
Substack prides itself on free expression. But freedom without limits can become a home for hate, and eventually, a vector for violence.
When a platform allows openly genocidal propaganda to flourish, can it still be called neutral?
A Line in the Sand
This is not a call for censorship of difficult conversations. It is not about banning criticism of Israel or any other political position.
This is about recognizing when a principle is being hijacked.
Substack and writers on the platform must ask themselves: should Substack be a home for independent thinkers or a haven for haters?
Can it be both?
Bearing Witness
If this article matters to you, do not look away.
Expose the darkness. Share what others would prefer to ignore. The question is no longer whether neo-Nazi Substack accounts exist. The question is whether we care that it does.
