In the 'The God Delusion' Richard Dawkins points out that one thing
all religions have in common is that they are protected from criticism
in ways that no-one else or no other institution is.
Except, maybe, MLM.
If you go to any business forum, you will find people tip-toeing
around the MLM system, taking care not to offend. I've lost count of
the times I've read "I'm sure there are good MLM companies.." and "I'm
sure that YOU don't aggressively and inappropriately recruit people.."
I've lost count of the times I'VE said that in my attempt not to cause
offense.
If you visit any of the major 'MLM motivational' forums (places where
the faithful can sustain each other in their belief / addictions) the
first thing you'll notice is their attitude to criticism of MLM in any
form. It is dismissed outright as 'negativity' - and of course,
listening to that negativity is just one more way in which YOU can
fail MLM rather than MLM fail you. And as in so many oppressive and
bullying organisational cultures,'negative' becomes the label for
anyone who disagrees or questions.
