    Whenever you see a message promoted and shared at large scale you have to try to analyze what it is they have to gain and what steps they’ve taken to achieve it.

    They’re not promoting the obvious solution. They make massive amounts of money just by maintaining this image as a megacorp consultant and an author. Smells like grift, that’s all I’m saying.

      Except she is identifying the problem and kinda the solution. You are just complaining because… you don’t like her. Her analysis was fine, your “analysis” was “idk” and ‘but but but she must be bad’. It’s kinda weird. Something tells me I just should peace out of this conversation.

          Dude. Your entire “analysis” was : this person might possibly have a bias so what they’re saying must be wrong. Which is an idiotic conclusion. Bring skeptical is fine. But assuming everyone who could have a motive must therefore be lying is a good way to never gain any information at all because literally everyone who says something online has a motive to do so

            I never claimed they were wrong in any way, shape, or form. I said it smells like a grift and we should be aware of their position.

              You just called someone maga because they said she was right regardless of what her personal situation was…

              It’s right there. You’re not going to trick people in forgetting what was already said.

                I called them maga for blindly defending some rich figurehead’s promoted tweet against any and all slight apprehension. Like how dare I promote critical thinking against the oligarch whose statements vaguely align with their political ideology?

                  You’re the one blindly attacking someone’s statement BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE without any critical thinking. The exact thing you’re accusing this other person of doing.

                  What you have demonstrated is the opposite of critical thinking, but a reactionary dismissal based on the identity, not even considering the actual content of the statement.

                  You can see your hypocrisy here, right?

              She never said she struggled

              Shes likely not renting as the CEO

              She also says it in past tense

              I dont know what her life was like before hand

                I’ve got a suggestion, instead of promoting billion dollar company consultants / grift authors why not repost the message of people actually struggling? Why share a message of an Oligarch when we could share those of our peers?
