Judging people doesn’t imply bad faith. We are all judging people all the time. It takes constant effort trying to be self-aware of it and trying to compensate for it.

Oh the author continued by saying: "Stop assuming they are bad at their job or their lives".

This was too absurd and hostile for me to continue listening.

I asked myself whether I thought the author was bad at writing, and realized I fell into their trap.

I asked myself how lost and angry someone has to be to write crap like this, and realized I did it again.

Some people have a real knack for being so defensive and insecure that they invite their own pain. They unwittingly coerce people who meant them no harm into doing so. Everyone is a victim for trying to take this blog post seriously.
