I'm taking a population-wide perspective. It is unrealistic for me to individually scold every person that runs against my values. Therefore, it is a waste of energy to do so for even one. Instead, I should spend energy focusing on the systems that allowed the behavior at all.

Personally, I find the idea of changing how people act on an individual level way more progressive than to change the system first, and then make people adapt. Changing your behavior have an instant effect on the society - for better or for worse - compared to waiting for someone else to do it for you.
