I made no assumption about you.
The language you chose is language whose most natural and obvious effect is to discourage workers from advancing their interests, of demanding higher wages.
A choice whose effect is against worker interests is one that rightfully will be resisted.
The current context is social media.
Someone insisted that workers demanding higher wages would not help them improve their conditions, and your response in the thread was generally approving of the position.
The broader effect of your comment is to discourage workers from attempting to advance their interests, of demanding higher wages.
Your comment received negative reactions, as you should expect.
