Interesting, That wasn't my take on the second "lazy" part of the article at all.

For me the lazy part was a counter-statement to first part. It claims that YES, there are individual issues, and individual action matters tremendously.

Yeah I guess I'm confusing that my bad, lazy I'm talking about is the "arm-chair advice" people give to sound smart. Easy to dispense, little value. No empathy.

This is what I meant. It's a harsh word, but--at least in my case--the truth is harsh too. I'm lazy. I have a huge array of benefits and privileges laid out in front of me, but I don't take advantage of them, even though I easily could.
