> I suppose it's more that a culture that encourages actions that result in someone deemed unworthy experiencing negativity. This sounds like most cultures in history. The majority of them have some sort of social shunning for people who act like a jerk (read: acts in ways society and culture have decided are jerkish) > Read as: don't say anything, ever, anywhere that isn't droll corp-speak, because somebody, somewhere will have an issue with it and try to take you to task. If that somebody has a lot of followers, you could be out of a job/home/country/freedom. this sounds like an exaggerated victim complex. Try it with "kittens are cute" and not something jerk-ish, and let's see if someone pops out of the woodwork to destroy your job/home/country/freedom.

"In my opinion, i don't believe that narrative is complete or correct" is enough to instigate a nasty backlash. "kittens are cute" is droll corp-speak.

  > "In my opinion, i don't believe that narrative is complete or correct" is enough to instigate a nasty backlash. I don't think that is indeed enough to instigate a "nasty backlash" (read: people in society shunning you for jerk behavior) if the "narrative" is that kittens are cute, but certainly it'd be reasonable for society to shun someone who seems hateful. It certainly seems on its face to be a trollish statement (designed to inflame rather than understand), given that it omits any details. > "kittens are cute" is droll corp-speak Is it? According to who? I certainly don't think so. My corporation hasn't said that at any point. Are you sure you aren't using the term to mentally dismiss anything which disagrees with your theory?
