[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8507695, member: 19857"] It seems like it, but it really isn't. Because the folks he's pitching this too are all in on the same mindset. If an original creator can be painted as part of the "woke mob" then they're also the enemy even if they were an original creator. And if an original creator is against them then they're defacto part of the "woke mob" and therefore also an enemy. If you can see through this enough to see the contradiction that you're talking about then you're probably too smart to give him money and his pitch isn't for your ears. The drawing of boundaries between insiders and outsiders is very important to all of these kinds of grifting efforts. That he shaves off some potential marks by making enemies from original creators plays into the scam - like the bad spelling and grammar in Nigerian scam e-mails. It weeds out the folks who might be inclined to think before opening their wallets or ask questions he doesn't want to answer. [/QUOTE]
