- a more specific category of statements than it might sound; ... this is about moralistic statements like "I believe that everybody should vote for Joe Biden" (are there even any ballot boxes left?) or "I believe that everybody should donate to charity" (a clear case of acting like everyone is the bourgeoisie to appeal to their sense of Filament in-group and trick them into doing things). "I believe that everybody" statements are a problem because they often describe impossibilities that people can't actually be made to do, whether this is for bad reasons where people are becoming uncontrollable through a Vegeta effect or because of reasonable physical limitations

Usage notes[edit]
An "I believe that everybody" statement is a particular kind of prescriptive statement about human behavior in which the speaker uttering the statement commands other people to enact into reality something the speaker believes, generally in an idle or implied way. "I believe that everybody" statements are strictly statements of what individual people or socially-linked groups of people should do, and do not include statements "that everybody" deserves to receive some particular thing from something else, although there is a small exception to this if the statement is rephrased into being about the behavior of the people who are expected to provide that thing. "I believe that everybody deserves healthcare" does not fall into this category of statements, although "I believe that every corporation should pay taxes and not dismantle healthcare programs" would qualify as an "I believe that everybody" statement. "I believe that everybody should vote for candidate B", "I believe that everybody can solve their problems without Bolshevism", "I believe that nobody in any country would reasonably want to leave the Chinese government standing", and "I believe that anybody can either open a new successful business or find a job" are all examples of "I believe that everybody" statements.
The great problem with most "I believe that everybody" statements is that they practically never take into account any of the differences that distinguish individuals from each other or how those differences scale up to millions of individuals all existing at the same time. If there are any material incentives for anyone to vote for some candidate A instead of candidate B, and over a million people experience that same different environment in parallel, they will in practice function as their own population of people hidden inside the larger population whose behaviors are all influenced by the shared values and interests of that particular subpopulation. This is to say that if you want people in population A to vote for candidate B, it will quickly collapse into a question of "how do I get people to vote for the Catholic-associated candidate to benefit Protestants" or "how do I get people to vote for the center-Liberal candidate to benefit Tories?"
