How deceitful is it when another person uses the pronoun “we” to tell others what “you” believe or think?

Karmageddon: How deceitful is it when another person uses the pronoun “we” to tell others what “you” believe or think?
Example … “we don’t approve of that” or “we believe _____”

What about if that’s not the position you hold, and the speaker is assuming (not presuming) you do to bolster their own agenda?

In a spiritual sense, do you like others to speak for you under the guise of the word “we”, or are you perfectly able do speak for yourself on spiritual matters?
