Yes. All analogies suck to various extents, but, "murder" and "robbery" are pretty apt analogies.

A lot of problems can only addressed systemically.

Murder? Yes, an excellent start to solving this problem is to not murder anybody. That's really the single most important thing you do.

And yet, history shows, other people are going to do murders and simply not murdering people yourself is not sufficient to deal with this problem. You need to intervene or call for help if you see somebody getting murdered, and we need some sort of system to deal with murderers and protect other people from them, etc.

If murder is too extreme a metaphor for the anti-woke crowd, how about pissing on the bathroom floor? It's great if you are not pissing on the floor, but somebody is and we all have to walk on that floor, so we need to have some kind of community standards around it, and also somebody needs to clean up that piss.
