i'd say: nobody needs to tell anyone else to "assume good intent".
most reasonable people assume good intent *anyways* for ordinary real-life misunderstandings. anyone who explicitly invokes "assume good intent" is probably using it as cover for acting like an asshole.

The electric F-150 is the actual game changer.
When Republican men who think climate change is a hoax and would never buy an electric vehicle for planet saving reasons realize that a fully loaded pickup can go 0-60 in less than 5 seconds....

The idea that Russian generals are accused of corruption in Vladimir Putin’s kleptocracy is beyond satire. A criminal regime doesn’t like people stealing from it. As Gary Kasparov says: Every country has a mafia. In Russia the mafia has a country.
