Moral odium inheres, if nowhere else, in that you insist upon the seductive counsel of despair. The more convincing you make that, the less our fellows will feel themselves able in any meaningful way to act at all. What should I call such encouragement to cowardice, if not culpable?

its not a council of despair, its a council of perspective and a critique of those who offer ineffective solutions that are framed as morality. Those solutions only exist to make their practitioners feel good about themselves but change none of the outcomes.
