God, got to the end of the article and I wouldn’t even call it that, it’s an excerpt from this man’s $30 “moral ambition” spiritual wellness book that no doubt will grace people’s holiday gift lists to inspire even more faux change.
I was sorta wondering which number the job of writing this article was given its (lack of) usefulness.
I agree with most of what you said, but feel there is more to it. Slaves of the past had to risk everything despite having little to nothing. The same applies to modern day wage slaves.
One point of value of the article is the history lesson that the abolition of slavery took massive efforts from the people at the top and the bottom to get the job done. It had to be envisioned, articulated and proponents recruited and plans made and remade to shift civilization to make a new reality.
The rise in populism is not a natural phenomenon either. Intellectuals like Bannon, and Harper and Farage et al articulate a vision, recruit proponents, high and few at first, then wide and low. They have devised plans and carried them out over decades.
If we want anything other than a deepening of this distopia into the stuff of nightmares, it will take the same efforts and more. Time is not on our side.
The only people who can quit their “pointless” jobs in the name of “moral ambition” are those who are lucky enough to not need them in the first place.
The article does say exactly that.

And are you gonna pay my rent or do you want homeless revolutionaries?
@frankPodmore I too saw this headline, I am very intrigued about the book coming out later this month https://ramblingreaders.org/book/438129/s/moral-ambition
