I feel the same, but with an added caveat. Just because some movements/concepts are 'A Good Thing™' doesn't mean that they are not amenable to abuse by 'Not So Good Things™'.

E.g., whenever a company lobbies for stuff, it's never "for the profits of our stakeholders"; it's always "for the sake of the children".

Therefore while I applaud positive movements, I'm also always weary to note the timing and subtext in which they are presented, and very often it feels like there is a disingenuous agenda behind them, that sours the apple for me.
