The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Fairness - an admirable motive...but, one that has a really difficult time surviving both delivery and receipt.
Fairness - a thing that tends to be torn between biased perspectives.
The rest of the world will treat me unfairly...OK...I will live with that.
I will treat others unfairly...OK...I will live with that too.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Ben Franklin found people, even people who clearly disliked him, responded positively when he asked them for a favour. As one example, back in the day - almost 300 years ago, books were very rare in New England. Benjamin Franklin asked a political opponent [who had publicly criticized Ben] to lend him one of his prized books. The person loaned the book to Franklin, who read it quickly and thoroughly then returned it. After this experience, the opponent softened his attitude toward Franklin.
These Ben Franklin experiences led to what is now known as the Ben Frankin Effect.
