Sure, it's hypocritical in this hypothetical scenario that's been setup, but still not strictly wrong.

By all means go to NoKings if you're involved in nothing, but it's important not to confuse it with effective action in and of itself. Our labor is where our real power lies, and if something is not funneling people towards ways to organize that then it's of limited use in creating lasting reform. Not of no use at all, but limited.
