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.

(🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻beyond condescending #patronizing)

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.

Big American internet companies are especially big on #patronizing. That was the main reason why I kissed #Microsoft and #Google products goodbye some 15 years ago. More should do so...

Also, people like Mark #Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Jeff #Bezos have always aroused enough suspicion in me to want to have nothing to do with them. Not to mention Elon #Musk.

So now there is #Mastodon, which seems like a good thing.

And what's more: there is #Linux too.

#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!

Boosting accounts that interact in mutually respected and responsive ways.

If I ask a question of someone, and the person stars it but does not answer the question, that just feels patronizing.

So far that has happened twice on here. It's just weird.

@IanThistlethwaite @Mellifluence @Basdriver to my mind, it doesn't matter if people want to be #patronizing or even downright #idiotic on here. I learned a long time ago that what others think of me does not have to be connected - in any way, shape, or form - to my #self-worth. I like what I like, and if they don't like it, I don't give a #ratsbacksides.
I'm gonna be me. If you be you and speak with me like intelligent people speak, then we're good.
