It tells us that they're not prepared to engage any critical thinking skills by having an add-on that decides for them who is worth reading or listening to.

Do you know I actually thank God every day for your voice in this debacle? You help everyone SEE, and because you are a man, they cannot ignore you. You are like one of those Old Testament prophets, forcing people to see what they are really doing so they can't live in blissful denial. (I wonder if that's why all the Bible prophets are men? So they couldn't be ignored? Stoned, yes; ignored, no . . . )
My Facebook account has been disabled and I can’t get back in. Luckily I had an old account in my married name that I have revived. I’m sure my account being locked is linked to the amount of GC material I’ve been sharing recently. I may be paranoid but it feels very strange that I’ve been running that account for 4 years with no problems until I’ve spoken out…
"Colorado father is found guilty of killing his 13-year-old son Dylan Redwine in a fit of rage after the boy found photos of him wearing a red bra and eating feces from a diaper"
"And not only is he an abuser, he created a Chrome extension that makes it a little bit harder to discover that he’s an abuser, by marking websites in bright red DANGER colours, much in the same way that journalists like Helen Lewis and James Ball line up to do to mine whenever they’re forced to cover Substack."
Meaning people who don't think will not bother reading articles flagged up.
All of the worst movements in history have relied heavily on censorship, blacklists, public humiliation and ostracization, and controlling the flow of information to the people. The historical parallels are glaring. Perhaps Bailey and the like need to be asked, "What other movements in history relied on the sanitization of information and blacklisting of people who didn't get with the program?"
in the seventies/eighties eco - feminists (and fellow cranks) understood how the forced separation of people from the land/(what would now be classed as environmental concerns, and 'caring for the planet'), because of the demands of industrial patriarchal. Both capitalist and communist economies worldwide were obsessed with the competition of who could make the most product to sell. the production of commodities (and later 'services'), meant that the markets would be ever expanding because of their belief in 'growth economics'.
the critiques of 'growth' economics are environmentalist, both left and right wing, but we are all cranks to suggest that their might be another way, to not produce so much waste, and to consider what we might do to the waste rather than just dump it in someone else's back yard. and climate change has happened because of the direct effects of the pollution epidemic created by the factory-system and our ongoing industrial revolutions.
us cranks were right to be concerned and to speak out and the public do now listen, because the change is evident. the change is all around us. what is more important than winning the argument over the long term, is leading the practical change to instill damage limitation practices.
why do the transCorp cultists call out women as cranks for speaking out, without knowing the history of the word's usage and its reclaim by environmentalists in the seventies and the eighties, as an example, Cranks was a popular cafe chain in the london/uk for vegetarians and vegans, and they produced a number of influential cookery books (that may still be available from second hand dealers). the recipes are both traditional and contemporary in feel, mixing the old with what seems new.
so what is the definition of a cranky person?: meriam webster - (below) the 'gi' name-caller was probably alluding to the 'childish' usage of crank, as meaning a cross, or having strange ideas, woman, rather than the more academic - annoying eccentric person.(must be a woman).

More from Merriam-Webster on crank
definitions of words matter if anyone is to communicate clearly and not cross unacceptable boundaries. transactivists have a problem with definitions, and setting reasonable boundaries. seeking some kind of freedom and always pushing at existing boundaries. maybe its 'puberty' enacted as 'activism'. if so their behaviour and demands have nothing to do with biological sex (or identifying as some kind of unspecifiable 'gendered being') but growing up, and attempting to mature in a world which has no place for them unless they change themselves to fit in. through surgeries? the industrialists sold us commodities, then services and now 'changes'. self-changes.
and what does 'trans' actually mean? literally it means 'across', 'beyond', 'through,' from the latin. as in 'translate'.
