The only people who can quit their “pointless” jobs in the name of “moral ambition” are those who are lucky enough to not need them in the first place.

The article does say exactly that.

I know, and that's why it's ironically a pointless article.

There can't be a meaningful progressive movement organized exclusively of the upper class. Everyone else with a "pointless" job is one they need to survive. Not just because they're afraid to give up their two car garages and avocado toast.
