How To Sell Luxury Beliefs with Luxury Goods
The billionaire Newhouse family controls elite leftist propaganda through its ownership of Conde Nast, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Vogue - plus 30% of Reddit
Comrades: Conde Nast is the agitprop slop factory for the limousine liberal longhouse literati.
Founded in 1909, its flagship publications include Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Vogue. Combined with other hundreds of other franchises like GQ, Glamour, and Wired, the global conglomerate claims 70 million print and 400 million digital subscribers. Vogue editor-in-chief and elite empress Anna Wintour serves as Artistic Director and Global Chief Content Officer. The Devil Wears Prada was based on her cruelty and snobbery. She and her abused minions are always dressed like extras in the Capitol of The Hunger Games.
The core customer of Conde Nast is the AWFL PMC: Affluent White Female Liberal Professional Managerial Class. Their glossy magazines stroke the erogenous zones of vapid consoomerism, inane gossip, and solipsism. Articles promoting luxury beliefs are intermingled with ads promoting luxury goods. Vote blue, buy Gucci! Any heterodox reporting or quality writing is long gone. The perfect Conde Nast Resistance(TM) cover girl: AOC wearing a TAX THE RICH gown to Wintour’s exclusive Met Gala. She was fined $3,000 in ethics violations for failing to disclose that she was comped a $35,000 ticket.
Conde Nast is normalizing socialism by making it look cool. If you consoom their goodthink, you are a hip commissar. Their recent covers would make Pravda blush.
Accurate representation of Conde Nast readers:
In 1959, media magnate Samuel Newhouse merged Conde Nast with his holding company Advance Publications. Like The New York Times, it remains under the ownership of a multigenerational oligarch family. The Newhouse family has built out the entire propaganda stack. In 1964, they donated the founding gift for the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. The school churns out 500 hacks every year. Many of these bootlicking striver “journalists” work at Conde Nast and other establishment hives to defend the good billionaires.
Predictably, all Newhouse institutions continue to push DEI. “Condé Nast is an inherently multicultural company that fosters inclusivity by ensuring people of all backgrounds, perspectives and experiences are represented in our workplace, in the content we create and throughout our global business.”
In 2006, Conde Nast acquired Reddit to expand its digital presence and maintains a 30% ownership after a 2013 spin-out. Reddit is a hub of leftist domestic terror and censorship. While it clamps down on conservatives, it permits celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and calls for violence against Trump/ICE. Reddit’s founder Alexis Ohanian virtue signaled that his mother was an illegal. He is married to the wealthy athlete Serena Williams, who shrieked racism about cotton plants adorning her luxury hotel. They are Reddit brain in human form. Reddit is now the top source for AI LLMs - what could possibly go wrong?
The best way to subvert subversion is to starve the human centipede of slop. End the mimetic cycle. Steer young women away from all Conde Nast rags. Vote with your wallet. Stop giving money to people who hate you. Support higher quality arts and culture:
How To Win America's Counter-Cultural Revolution
Comrades: American capitalists have a responsibility to protect our civilization from communists.
I learned new stuff today. It's cemented what I already was thinking.
Additionally, I can't stand Reddit. It's footprint on Internet searches is larger and larger and larger. It's as bad as Yelp! used to be until the "Billion Dollar Bully" expose' came out. Sharyl Attkisson did a great piece on the monsters at Wikipedia. The subversive shit show that they are. I remember as a little kid asking my dad why he read the Washington Evening Star when we lived in DC area. He said "at least you can believe the Evening Star 75% of the time. You can't believe anything the Washington Post puts out." I'm sick of conservative suppression.
For the origins of this trend, read Subverted by Sue Ellen Browder.
She was a writer at Cosmo in the 70’s, where she invented fake stories of women “having it all” i.e. high paying jobs, expensive trips, and steamy love affairs. All things that aren’t husbands and families, which is what most women actually want.
She now feels extreme remorse for the part she played in lying to generations of women, encouraging them to choose ephemeral glittery baubles, over the substantive building blocks of a life well lived. All so that Cosmo can sell luxury lifestyles to women, who would not have been able to afford them had they been mothers.
