The problem I have with the way this is being lauded by some among the left isn't it being used to spur people into action.
No, that's good.

It's that many either don't understand or care about the rhetorical line needed to walk and are hoping it spurs people into the same sort of action.

To quote the Crimethinc article on Aaron

Let’s admit that the kind of protest activity that has taken place thus far in the United States has not served to compel the US government to compel a halt to the genocide in Gaza. It is an open question what could accomplish that. Aaron’s action challenges us to answer this question—and to answer it differently than he did.
