Plus, statements like these are like horoscopes: vague enough that they fit your opinions. But the wish either assumes people think like you do (but then why would you need to do this?) or that you’re special enough to be rude unilaterally. Because people with opinions you don’t agree with would just use the same tactic toward you. E.g. some conservative saying “I don’t care” and leaving every time people try to talk about the importance of not being racist.
