Etiquette is a convention for social discourse among disparate minds. Etiquette is necessary when life is close to nature. It’s a lesson that will be learned again.

People that actually live on the edge are exceedingly polite and well mannered. When men became office plankton standards started to slip. The Xtian Evangelicals are among the worst in this regard. Wearing a flannel shirt and Bermuda shorts to a church service shows a lack of respect to oneself and their Divinity. As a combat soldier of three wars we learned quickly to respect all others; it keeps the IEDs at bay. At the same time these juvenile delinquents expect to be treated without the distain that their morals and manners dictate. Dueling societies are polite societies

I have never trusted overly polite people. They’re just itching to conquer Manchuria and rape Nanking.

To be polite implies that you think someone can’t handle straight, honest communication. It is implicitly condescending.

I am polite because I have a low opinion of most people.

“Among the heathen we shall find no other persons that exceed the Japanese in manners.” — Francis Xavier.

Same way of behaving in Japan today. The Japanese set the standard the rest of the world should follow. In many other ways too the Japanese are the standard model.

I think much of this “politeness” is the response to intimidation. HR departments, the paramilitary of the F500, will absolutely and intentionally destroy you if you don’t participate in homosexual and gender delusions. I got bounced out of a F500 company for a shift for calling one of the worst employees a ball-less son of a bitch. When I came back to work I got handshakes and fist bumps from my normal peers. I am the first to be polite and cordial, but I will not put up with fake cooperation or kumbaya crap. Yep, I’m an old guy with no patience for bullshit.

Famous picture taken of the 1906 World Series Chicago. Cubs versus White Sox. Westside Grounds. Men in the stands all in suit, tie, hate. Women in long gowns and wide brimmed hats. Vendors in uniforms. Etc.

Yes, the young wokies I meet have a mix of:

1) Nice young person, well brought up and well aware that they are in the power of larger, older, uglier, people who are easily offended. Be polite to them.

2) Nasty-nice young people, well aware that they are more freshly-informed about fads in the indoctrination than older adults and using that against us.

See I’ve been saying this for years, a hypocrite is more like a conman or a fraudster. If it’s failing to live up to a personal moral standard that’s just everybody at different times. There’s a radical difference between failing to measure up but accepting the standard as real and making a pretense at something you don’t believe in or try at for a second.
