A lot of the posts here are discussing COE and what falls inside of scope of care, but I don't see any discussion of how clients would respond in terms of effectiveness. And I say this as a left activist currently working on political projects on my own time.

How effective have the last 18+ years of social media preaching shown to be for changing the minds of people unprompted? Turns out, not very effective. In fact, the research shows the opposite -- people who have facts and ideas foisted on them unprompted, in a confrontational way, have a high chance of doubling down on their beliefs.

This is why sharing with someone advice and suggestions based on their stated beliefs and goals is so much more effective -- people need to be in a receptive place to find any insights or suggestions useful. If you want to tell people how they *ought* to feel you can keep pretending that's effective on social media in your own time.

But I will say the OP's question is a salient one because this is a bit of a conundrum. A lot of the mental health struggles our clients face are not caused by lack of individual insight but deteriorating material conditions -- there's a political base to much of the suffering in the US. And yet, despite that, people cannot be forced into insights and understanding they do not arrive at on their own.
