Two things can be true at the same time:
1 - vested interests try & frame climate change as a question of individual responsibility *only*
2 - we should still be interested & do something about the very large inequalities in personal carbon footprints

Ignoring 2 just because of 1 would be a very bad idea.
In our 'discourses of climate delay' paper we identified "individualism" as one of the 12 discourses BUT something you may not know is that we considered including *systemism* ("all we need is system change, forget about individuals") as well.

The reason why we did not include it is (if I remember correctly) just that we thought it wasn't as widespread as "individualism".
"Climate mitigation requires a global revolution, in the meantime I'll keep flying to Mallorca every 2 weeks" is not a morally tenable position IMO
