You can share an unpopular opinion without being unkind. That’s the whole trick.

Disagreement and disrespect get bundled together so often that people assume you have to pick one of them. You do not. What makes an unpopular take land is that it goes after the idea and leaves the person alone, which means nobody has to defend their dignity before they can consider your point.

Practice the separation out loud. I see it differently, and here is why. No sneering, no implying that only an idiot would think otherwise. The strongest version of your position is the one that would still be fair with the other person standing right there.
