This implies taking steps to bring about a social order less violence-prone could never be ‘concrete’. The only help is self-help. Rather than self-help being distinctly second-best. No self-help solution here should for a second forget the insanity of the regular need for it.https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench/status/1211425971863203845 …
Generally, talking to people is not "concrete." Talking is closer to being concrete the closer it is to being a command, but if it's open-ended, it isn't "doing something", it's having a conversation.

So, "pray that you can exhibit the courage of the man who shot the shooter in Texas" is not a concrete action by your definition. But I'm guessing that's not your point? If not, what is it?

Part of what's going on is that "concrete action" is getting parsed as an unit, rather than two otherwise independent terms composed together. "Sapere Aude!" or "Gnothi seauton" is grammatically a command, but not concrete at all.
