Which is why excusing yourself openly from that meeting (before or during) makes more sense and is good for company culture in long term.

Frankly, we talk about how important it is for people to be able to speak rudely or express their political opinions in work, but the whole thing oddly stops when it comes to cold calm organizational "I think I don't need to be here".

I don't think I agree with the proposition that people need to be empowered to be rude at work.

I'm not sure if you, and the above poster, agree on what it means to be rude. I wouldn't like rudeness at work either, I think what the above commenter meant is more boldness to speak up and say that you want to leave, which should be the norm. Not yelling at someone and then leaving, which would be rude.
