I'm very interested in the recent origins of this playbook. 'never apologize, never explain' is really old, but it seems to be a thing now

- SpicyLemonZest 3y agoI think it's always been a common playbook. It just doesn't come across as a playbook at all when it works; either you assume the issue must have been minor or you never hear about it at all. (How many people remember the Starbucks strikes in November and December 2022?)
- zerohp 3y agoThe president demonstrated it from 2016 to 2020. We are just seeing the copycats now.
- revelio 3y agoTrump is to blame for the behavior of the company that banned Trump's subreddit? Is there anything this man can't be blamed for?
- DougN7 3y agoWell, he did things more brazenly and on a bigger stage than anyone before him, and got away with it. Big numbers of people noticed.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoDid Spez ban trump's sub or did Reddit? There are inevitable more than one Spez at Reddit, but I doubt all 2000+ employees are like that.
- tarsinge 3y agoThis is a public speech playbook to influence a crowd. You need to reach a large audience on your own terms without being challenged. It was not applicable through traditional media, and public speeches occasion with a large audience were very rare. Social media made it possible 24/7. Also the previous US president proving it works was a turning point.
