I see signs everywhere, stickers, t-shirts, YouTubers saying at the end of their videos "be kind" "kindness is everything". Kindness is overrated. What they mean when they say this is don't be confrontational, don't be assertive, succumb. It encourages weakness. Strength should be the priority.

Rofl. Doing this would literally get you charged for hate speech outside the USA.
The real issue is, as you say, their definition of kindness is subjugation.
The cattle are kind to the farmer when they go to pasture when intended, return when intended, don't ruin the fences or stampede, don't harm the farmer, and die nice and neatly for meat when told to. That is a nice and kind cattle.
Kindness is telling someone they fucked up, in as unambiguous and clear language as possible, then informing them of how it happened to prevent repeats, irreverent to that someone's feelings. Kindness is acting in such a way as to promote societal cohesion long-term, even if short-term is causes problems.
Kindness is not giving a man a fish. Neither is kindness teaching a man to fish. Kindness is letting a man learn to fish from you, which is very different. Imposing your own mind upon his is not kindness, it is paternalism at best, rulership at par. You rob the man of his choice, and he will forever be dependent upon the handouts of yourself whether you give him a food source or a source of food, for both run dry in time.
Probably why their "kindess" is often so full of passive aggressiveness that they're practically seething.
Leftists don't fucking believe it, or else they would be a lot less hostile, violent, and exclusionary to those they don't 100% agree with in general. Or maybe they do believe it in the sense that they're not actually preaching that everyone be kind, but they're demanding that YOU be kind. As in, you have to step aside, kneel down, and accept every form of abuse hurled at you without complaint from those who they deem to be less fortunate than you. Which, if you're white, male, straight, and especially if you're white, male, AND straight, is everyone.
"Be Kind" means "don't treat me like I treat you because I am a human and you are subhuman."
At least they're consistent.
"Unity!"
Hah. People might not know this, but "Be kind" is Ardern's official destroy-the-economy-with-lockdowns-but-pretend-we-are-nice-people slogan in NZ (along with the equally nausea-inducing "team of 5 million"). While she still has plenty of supporters who buy her schtick, "be kind" has been permanently damaged by her use of it to many others here who can plainly see it's a hypocritical virtue signal.
Kindness is a beautiful thing and one of the highest virtues you can have. Problem is it's conflated with niceness. Christ was always kind but wasn't always nice.
Kindness is mostly superficial. It is good, but doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a good person.
Love your neighbor as yourself. Love is far more powerful because it speaks to who you are as a person, and love can be tough and may seem harsh at first glance, but true love is necessarily good.
That's essentially what I was trying to convey by differentiating kindness and niceness. Kindness being what achieves the best outcome even if it's not necessarily nice to the individual while niceness is performative and not necessarily in someone's best interest.
Could you give an ELI5 for Kindness vs Niceness?
To be fair, this is more how I subjectively see it. Niceness would be telling your friend an outfit looks good on them when it's really not. Kindness is telling them to change into something else. You can often be both nice and kind when a situation allows it but they can also mean different things. When being nice would prevent you from being kind, it's much easier to just be nice even though being kind has greater benefit.
"No bad vibes please!"same stuff, the people that pull these platitudes think an air of positivity covers for how fragile and insecure they are.
"No drama!"
-- biggest drama whore around
Same old same old ...
Every single time with that shit!
As usual, those of us with a true aversion to drama see no need to broadcast it. You can take our sudden absence when fists start flying as a cue.
The problem with kindness is excessive empathy. Kindness is giving a man a fish, but doing good is teaching a man to fish.
Hurt them or yourself a little now so that you can secure a better future where you/they aren't reliant on handouts to solve their problems. You see this a lot with helicopter/bulldozer parents who are so 'kind' to their children that they never grow and fail to become functioning adults.

So is happiness.
Well that's obvious.
kindness is a very nice thing. when you can afford the luxury. which is when is reasonable to expect others will be kind to you too. otherwise is just powerplay. nice video: https://odysee.com/@ShortFatOtaku:1/incentivizing-theft:6
what Op is saying is a technique of communication sometimes referred to as: Enmity Counteraccusation. basically "the enemy calls you his enemy because you recognize his enmity and oppression".
the sjws are so convinced to be in the right that they feel to go full totalitarian onto you. they treat you like an enemy but they expect you to treat them like a friend. they expect you to take it in the ass without complaint. and when you don't and you retaliate they accuse you to be the enemy wishing for an outcome of violence.
just reply to them with this verbatim: if you don't realize to be an anti-white racist and a discriminatory cultist warped by propaganda and stop for time. you will have your cranium smashed open on the hard concrete of rights the first day of the uprising.
"Be Kind!" and get in this train car.
Indeed it should.
Kindness is not telling a person they have food on their face.
