While I appreciate the good intentions behind this ethos, and the value it may contain, I gotta ask: what real good does this awareness accomplish? I can be as aware as I want of the vast extent to which the system from which I've reaped such rewards has crushed the life from others -- what of it? What good does it do them?

If you have this awareness and a hefty surplus of resources, you're likely to use it to improve society in some way. Likely driven by your own desire to feel good about yourself, yet still effective.
