The point you make (e.g. societal concerns vs. individualism) IMO is valid. However, if the intent of your comment is to change minds it will fail because the way you have phrased it inherently puts people on the defensive.

Something I often hear at work about me that is valid here is "People rarely disagree with what you say but they disagree strongly with HOW you say it".

We both may wish people didn't care about the "how" if the "what" is correct but that's not the world we live in.
