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)
thank you, i appreciate that. i'm one of those people trying to make it happen
Gods speed, hope you succeed
