First paragraph: I feel exactly the same way, but also definitely feel and sympathize with the article's topic sometimes. I don't think the two ideas are as mutually exclusive as they seem.
Second paragraph: I think you're letting the world's political bullshit get you a little reactive. Those words are championed more often explicitly by the right than the left, and some media outlets unreasonably demonize some right wing things, but those are two separate concepts. Those words are, by definition, positive words in a neutral context.
- JetAlone 5y agoI think you have a point about the reactionism... A better gambit than pre-emptively complaining about a small difference in political stances on something like work ethics would be to just champion the virtues on their own, and if an actual political ideologue begins to act disparaging about it as being somehow a less positive thing, respond with "Alright, well you and your cohort can enjoy not benefiting from these virtues then".
