Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

    I mean, every time someone online names themselves or qualifies themselves something, it’s very likely to be their weakness.

    This method works wonder in the dating world:

    “I value honesty” → I am a liar, and want you to tell me the truth unconditionally. “I just got out of an abusive relationship” → I am an abusive person, and want you to pity me. “I don’t care how much you make” → The entire feasibility of our potential relationship rests on your annual income.

    etc, etc.

    You can also spot corporations the same way:

    Google “Don’t be evil” is famous, but there is plenty others: Apple’s “Think different” while they clearly built a cult following of brainwashed followers; “Challenge everything” from electronic arts, company clearly famous for destroying all they touch; etc.

    So when a corporate department is named “anti-X”, they’re likely pro X.
