This is a little ironic...

  - We really don't appreciate bullshit, all it does is erode trust
  
  - No, no, let me explain how bullshit is actually good for you...

This is very close to the language Lambda School actually used. Here is a snippet of something Lambda wrote after a LOT of students complained about the changes the school made to the program (removing TLs, grades, code review):

- First, we need to clarify how we've changed the accountability model.

- Second, we need to clarify why we've changed the accountability model.

- Third, after we understand the bandwidth and instructor availability in this new model, we'll continue to tighten the proactive feedback on technical skills.

Oh I’m not saying bullshit is good! I’m saying in some situations, with large enough groups of people? The non-bullshit isn’t going to be good either.

And it's working so great in politics. The party that's supposed to help the poor and downtrodden has managed to completely alienate them through precisely this kind of condescending manipulation.

As long as the other party alienates them even more, seems to still be working no?

Not like California is going Red anytime, well, ever, after all.
