This is whataboutism. You can and you should engage politically against every level of institutions who hurt moral principles you believe in.

    The entire concept of engaging against institutions that one feels are immoral is "being an asshole"? Or just this one? What principles are such a broad, hateful sentiment based on?

    Engaging politically is not virtue signaling.

      It is to nihilists. And also to those who seek to disarm others and render them unable to act for their beliefs. You see, then, the dire trouble we are in as a polity.
