Sure it's wrong; that's how the clique on top remains on top. It works similarly to a forced card or misdirection of attention in a magic trick. You keep the little people angry with each other; calling each other names, denouncing each other over issues the powerful don't really care about. So nothing changes. You're allowed to have "choice" in any of these heated micro-issues, but the national security surveillance state, the rule of the oligarchy, cheap labor, cultural atomization, the petrodollar and empire and eternal war are beyond question. I don't see anything changing short of an actual "fall of soviet union" style revolution or dissolution of the country.
