The last time we ran the Dreamstealer post, I loved this response from one of our readers:
The term
"dreamstealer" is a very effective propaganda tool, since it is
simple enough to shut off any rational thought in the unwary listener. Who could
be against dreams?
I guess Winston Churchill was a "dreamstealer" when he scotched Adolf
Hitler's dream of Nazi control of the world. I guess the police were
"dreamstealers" when they caught Ted Bundy and prevented him from
fulfilling his dream of murdering more young girls.
The fact is that, for Amway IBOs who are steadily losing money month after
month, the derogatory term "dreamstealer" becomes a convenient way to
let loose with resentment and rage against anyone who questions or criticizes
the entire Amway racket, or MLMs in general. It's the only way for these
frustrated IBOs to convince themselves that they were right to sign up in
Amway, and that everyone else is stupid or malicious.
As a matter of fact, when Amway freaks say "dreamstealer" what they
are unconsciously saying is "truth-teller who is telling me truths that I
don't want to hear."
Here are ten of the many stupid buzzword and phrases used in Amway to help strangle rational thought: (I've put in parentheses what they really mean) --
ReplyDelete1. dreamstealer (someone who points out the absurdity of Amway)
2. prosuming (a new way of consuming products, which can't be explained by anyone)
3. residual income (a non-existent form of income)
4. partnering (pretending that big companies are linked with Amway)
5. negative (anything upsetting or anti-Amway)
6. buy from your own store (spend money on Amway crap you don't need and can't sell)
7. leadership (learning how to rip off your down-line)
8. J.O.B. (a term of contempt for making an honest living)
9. stinking thinking (actual rational thought)
10. Man up! (let your up-line fuck you every month)
There are plenty more, but these are all I can recall at the moment. I'm sure Anna can add others.
Anonymous - you covered a lot of Amspeak. LOL nearly forgot the "prosumer" bullshit covered at ScAmway cult meetings. I doubt anyone is an Amway prosumer.
DeleteCan anyone rationally explain CORE? LOL!
Let's not the forget the ever popular Amway Ambot goal to walk the beaches of the world and laugh at everyone who laughed at them for being an Amway loser.
Business Owner. There are lots of legitimate business owners out here who don't need to punctuate those words into every sentence.
Go Diamond!
Amway "Core" stands for CREEPS ON REVVED-UP ENERGY.
DeleteIf you are "Core" in Amway it just means that you are a super-fanatical asshole who has dedicated his life to worshiping your up-line and blindly obeying him.
LOL Anonymous! Best description of CORE ever!
