That piece is somewhat thought provoking, but amusingly naive.  It
starts from the presumption that individual decisions cannot impact the
movement or the collective objectives negatively, or that there isn't a
collective work whose nature is altered by individual action.

In other words, it advocates empowerment by presuming that individuals
cannot make a difference.  :-)
