That's probably simply because terrible satire. I read the whole thing and had to come to the comments to verify. I actually thought the author was just an asshole. That's just bad writing.
- wavefunction 10y agoAh, it seemed quite obvious to me from a sentence or two in. Perhaps it was better satire than you realized?
- joesmo 10y agoOnly if your definition of good satire (or any writing) is one that fails to get its point and meaning across.
- jrockway 10y agoI think the point of satire is that it doesn't try too hard to get the point across. One could have easily written this article: "People with trust funds are the worst. All they do is travel the world, not really talking to anyone, and posting pictures of ice cream on Instagram. Man I hate those people. They're the worst." The author took a different approach and let you decide whether or not you hate that type of person.

- dwaltrip 10y agoI honestly thought it was a bit overdone and should have been more subtle. Meh.
