Mindfulness v. McMindfulness

From this piece:

"Some mindfulness educators think that meditating and changing the individual is enough to create a new social order. As I see it, mindfulness can help us gain a more sophisticated relationship with those we consider our enemies. Of course, progressives have to actively oppose white supremacists, sexists, and homophobes, but in the vein of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Jesus, we can fight like hell but with the most compassion possible. [...] Personal mindfulness can be step one, but mindful social action is step two. Ultimately, they are inseparable."
