I sort of get your point, but sometimes the truth also stings a little and people need to be aware that when it's good is when you need to prepare for the downturn, that is the moment to prepare your nestegg, unionize etc.

As I said in the other comment, the Union has been villofied by corpo's that people in the US think they are only to antagonize the company.

    you can explain all of that and be nice about it, you don't need to assume that people's motivation is to "get theirs". like you say, most people have grown up with several decades of propaganda, it's not their fault they see unions as bad. it takes time to undo that stuff and it's hard enough as it is without assuming their motivations or blaming them for something they had no control over

    You seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. Attacking the tone of the message adds nothing.

    The "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" view of the world is something most Americans ascribe to. It might not apply to an individual but it definitely describes the group.

    Yes years of corporate propaganda made an impact, I hope for them they can be the change they want to see.

    it's not a controversial take to say a message's tone affects how it's taken. could you explain why it's so difficult for you to hear the request "could you be nice"?

    or do you genuinely believe a message's tone doesn't affect how it's received? because if so, i've been wasting a lot of effort on being nice to you, myself :p (that's a joking tone, because it's almost certainly not going to be obvious)
