On closer inspection, I believe this does not add much towards understanding the described people’s psychology.
Although the described reactions seem accurate, the analogy seems week and the posts jumps too quickly towards unflattering conclusions about the outgroup. In particular, the case of being forcibly moved by a company towards another location is an extremely radical action given our current social norms and thus people can be expected to be indignant.
On the other hand, organizations imposing large but longer term changes on societies without asking is the norm. such as introducing social media or the internet.
