C'mon Alan, surely you would recognise this as an exhortion to own your problems and to be responsible for what you do. There's a big difference between "they should do bla" and "we should do bla". The former might refer to (say) your local government council - and the latter might refer to society in general. Contrast: "They should do something about climate change" vs "We should do something about climate change".
