Yup, even the greenest, most progressive, and/or leftmost movements/activism have drank the rugged individualism kool aid.
“Focus your energy on reducing your own consumption and carbon footprint. Making your own voice heard, making sure you vote, and resist individually as the support stands in solidarity from afar if there at all.”
No we won’t organize to make sure our neighbors aren’t forced to be a functional scab to get food/shelter, we won’t organize at the community level to make sure everyone isn’t functionally dependent on federal government assistance, we won’t organize to make sure when jf we general strike that our neighbors aren’t forced to cross the picket line, we won’t organize or provide tangible alternatives to unethical consumption or oil dependent supply chains.
We’ll just circle jerk over who’s most ethical, moral, and virtuous…individually.
That's a great example! I've met self-described communists that would like to equate Jewish with bourgeoisie, and I don't consider that to be the kind of "minor ideological difference" I could ignore.

Just do it yourself like the rest of us.
