- Hnrobert42 3y agoGo is making a cynical assumption about their motives.
- aydyn 3y agoGp is making no such assumption of motives. Lots of people actively peddle scams while believing in the product. For a less controversial example, MLMs.
- Hnrobert42 3y agoGP literally says, “in a cynical manner.”
- aydyn 3y agoThe fact that you’re trying to read the tea leaves on gp’s post rather than discuss them correctly calling out the DEI corporate scam tells all you need to know about the bad faith of this discussion.
- Hnrobert42 3y agoWhat tea leaves? I took GP’s comment at face value that DEI proponents are cynics. I don’t share your belief that DEI is corporate scam. I am sure some execs institute DEI exclusively to generate goodwill with no belief in it as a program. Most do it without deep thought because everyone else is. Still others truly believe diversity is valuable, and they are doing the best they know how. To me, that doesn’t equate to corporate scam. To me, it is misguided at worst. Since we aren’t mind readers and we don’t know what’s in their hearts, assuming DEI proponents are all bad faith actors is itself cynical. Much as it is cynical to assume I am arguing in bad faith. We may disagree, but that doesn’t mean I am trolling you. I don’t assume you are trolling me.

Don't tone police GPs thoughts. > We may disagree, but that doesn’t mean I am trolling you. I don’t assume you are trolling me. Your initial (now deleted( comment was only snark without an actual argument deriding _how_ they said, not _what_ they said.
