Strikes me as a rather unsatisfactory 'conclusion' - a bit like 'the answer is blowin' in the wind' ... or 'oh, well - what can ya do?' (i.e., don't go after the powers-that-be to try to stop war; try to make yourself a better person instead).

And 'emphasiz[ing] individual responsibility over group identification' was probably not even novel back when Jesus was doing it .....
