Let's not beat around the bush. This is exactly the type of insidious tripe that wants to make everyone the same, that wants to live in a gingerbread world where they hold hands and sing Kumbayah. We tell kids in school and adults to "be themselves and be an individual", yet, your way of thinking wants to remove any individuality and homogenize them so every one is polite and considerate of everyone else's garbage opinion as if they all had equal weight, They do not. Telling people they are doing something dumb, even in harsh terms can be useful, as it will drive the point home. That's not to say be mean, but, be direct and upfront.
