So the stakes are low, but it's objectively harmful. If you cut in line, it takes longer for me to get through the line than if you weren't there. Compare this to the "Nice" act of throwing out "thoughts and prayers" when someone says their house burned down. I guess a better example is screaming "fuck you" when does something you don't agree with? If "Nice" is expressing a desire to help without helping, being "Mean" is expressing a desire without hurting? I'd need to pull some research, but I'm pretty sure that the mental gains of "thoughts and prayers" is degrees lower than the mental pains of "fuck you", so I felt like they weren't proper equivalents.
