I wonder what the point of these types of articles are? We can certainly agree that there's something icky about this activism, but... Who cares? I'm much less annoyed by Bloomberg's egotistical desire to help people than I am by Peter Thiel's attempt to undermine the founding principles of this country. Yet for some reason publications like Palladium like to give a smug critique of activists(that are all left wing for some reason), and give cover to reactionary idiocy.
