Did vogue really post this?
Yeah. It's gross. Broke the link to prevent accidental click traffic.

Here is the archived link if anyone wants to read it without giving Vogue traffic https://archive.ph/3Qb2R
Do we not like Vogue? Which Billionaire owns them?
You can like Vogue if you want. I don't care.
When they publish a shit article that is designed to spin the image of those two assholes, it seems right not to give them click traffic.
Vogue is operated by Conde Naste which is owned by Advance Publications. Where there is a media conglomerate, there is no shortage of billionaires to shit on. So... All of them?
Wait - aren't they the ones with Bon Appetit and that whole fiasco a couple years ago?
And Reddit? Yeah. Same ones.
Nah i just meant did they do something heinous?
For instance with the Wall Street Journal these days i am skeptical of everything they print, even though it is mostly the OP Eds that are full of billionaire propaganda
You're becoming somewhat of a hero here, IWantToFuckSpez (gross name, by the way!)
Meanwhile Teen Vogue:
Makes sense. Uncle Karl is usually trendy with young adults, but its reaching the post-WTC Attacks era in the early-mid 2000s again, so there's a lot of media outlets jumping on with "10 things" and "All you need to know" articles.
It's funny. My father remembers the same thing during periods in the 70s and 80s where everyone was reading Communist Manifesto, Atlas Shrugged, Animal Farm, The State of Revolution, etc. Seems to be when a young generation somewhere are unhappy with the way things are going and looking for alternatives. It's excellent because it breaks the mould and reminds people that they have power and can influence change, liberty, and direction. It encourages people to consider things they did not know were options.
Atlas Shrugged really doesn't belong into that list.
