Does it harm the global proletariat to fight for improved conditions in the imperial core?

Saw this comment on the commie side of TikTok. My gut tells me this is ultraleft bs, but perhaps my fellow hexbears can educate me on this discussion which I’m sure is not new.
I don’t see how a poor American on food stamps is responsible, even though a systematic analysis reveals that international superexploitation is a thing.
The American proletariat can and should organize in any case. I don’t see how Americans can build any sort of socialist movement if any organization at all is accused of being hypocritical.
Yeah, the person commenting needs to either touch grass (if American) or get an "ehhh, kinda sorta" if outside the imperial core. When you help in forming job unions or tenants unions and you got some reputation as a commie, you ultimately help the cause down the line. I'm out there trying to improve the conditions of people in even shittier spots than mine, whether that's someone in a poorer, largely minority ghetto, or someone getting fucking genocided across the pond. You don't win people over being a caricature of what some boomer makes of college students.
