This Article Low Key Drags Me & Anti-MLM... *SHOCKING*
Channel: Cruel World Happy Mind
Date: 2021-03-12

As a final closing chapter on my coverage of anti-MLM (for now), I wanted to talk about an article written in the Atlantic that.. well... low key drags me! The article was weirdly written and also featured my "face" I suppose all over the cover photo (though the photos chosen were.. well.. kind of odd) but the article itself is a great jumping off point into a deeper conversation on the broad variety of voices and faces within the anti-MLM movement. 

In part 2 of this 2 part series I'll be interviewing the creators quoted for the article as well as diving into the Atlantic's shady past... stay tuned!
