Just a reminder that Vice was founded by Gavin McInnes, who also founded the Proud Boys and explicitly mentioned wanting to use Vice as a hipster-to-chud pipeline.
Wanna more about this can you send the thing?
Sure! This is a very illuminating article about the zeitgeist in the early 00s, including an interview with McInnes with the quote where he notoriously said "I love being white."
