Effective collective action is impossible without both real self discipline and meaningful engagement in life.

Your point has value to the extent that it’s reminding people we can’t just retreat into personal satisfactions.

But to the extent that it pooh poohs self-discipline or joyfully engaged attention, it’s totally wrong. The necessary practice starts with these things and then grows social and organized.

The social and organizing phase is usually less scoldy and pugilistic than some of your commentary here, too.
