“We tend to demand more of #Western states and societies, implying that they are enlightened and should know better. Counterintuitively perhaps, there’s something #patronizing and #discriminatory in the very assumption that the #Russians — or #Indians, or #Chinese, or #Cubans, for that matter — have a lesser moral, cultural, and societal #capacity to grasp and grapple with #racial #injustice, (…)

💬. "#IMO: it's not about THOUGHTS and I find society mf annoying, focused on weaklings - it's just assuming everybody is a BABY who is sick/depressed, it's #PATRONIZING. It's all assumptions of weakness, then it's solutions that are only Magic™. It's about (Positive Energy) and thoughts are important on this planet. So, you need to keep them really PURE - if you risk using your thinking at all."
▪︎ You should be running on pure intuition, it's WW3
▪︎ THOUGHTS should only be tools, words on paper

Power always Sincerely, conscientiously, de très bon Foi, believes itself Right. Power always thinks it has a great Soul and vast Views, beyond the Comprehension of the Weak; and that it is doing God Service when it is violating all his Laws. De très bon foi = "very candidly."
@j12t I strongly oppose that assumption about pocket cash.
$1 per month is out of pocket cash for even the poorest of the poor, if they get a value out of it that is more than what they put into. Note that you are addressing people with a smartphone and internet as customers, they have money, and they want to spend it wisely for their own profit.
The poor are to be taken seriously as customers.
What value can a social network offer someone with only limited cash? This you can find out by proper "Customer Development" as defined by Steve Blank.
Talk to them before you make assumptions.
Having a product so bad that people don't want to spend 1$/month is a sign of a strong need to work on the value proposition, sales, marketing, and invest into product management.
There is a lack of entrepreneurs focussing on making products for the poorest of the poor by talking to them, says

Cross-financing as you propose leads to #patronizing .
Being anti-religion should include speaking against Islam without being labeled an Islamophobe. Enough of the thought police.

From the effing (#Murdoch owned) #WSJ December 2020:
“Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the ‘Dr.’ before your name? ‘Dr. Jill Biden’ sounds & feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic.

I have been criticized in the past for repeating the observation—not original to me—that the entire #Republican platform depends on persuading people to #vote against their own #interests.
This is #patronizing, I’m told. I just don’t understand what their interests are. Get out of that #urban #liberal #bubble! Who the hell do you think you are, anyway, telling other people what they need?
Well, here it is, in the starkest possible terms. Republicans are willing and indeed eager to #suffer, as long as they think people they #hate are suffering more. There is no other explanation. None.

#Charity? “Just” #brand building? #Market distortion? Great #Marketing & #PR? #Altruism? #Patronizing?
I don’t know.
I accept, that “I have (and have been) #programmed myself” to #interpret situations & actions of others in #unconsciously #predetermining ways.
I want to reflect more on why I interpret the way I do, this year.
And try to view it from the opposite. Maybe it helps broadening my horizon ;-)
Happy New Year!
