The older I get, the more I think the propaganda machine was to get people really riled up about very niche issues so as to stop the progressive left from being able to enact real, meaningful change.
If I'm an oil exec, a sweatshop owner or anyone exploiting the third world, I'd be thanking jesus for modern first world social justice. Instead of implementing broadly popular policies to save millions of lives, we're screaming online about whether a tiny fraction of some of the richest people who have ever lived should play sports in high school or not.
It's definitely true. The right uses niche social issues to turn people against each other so they miss the bigger picture.
It breaks my heart as I'd guess most of the left leaning folks fighting share 90% of the same beliefs/values, find the alternative repellant but as you say, we miss the bigger picture.
On the other hand we do get a lot of internet points for being snarky at others so that's cool. /s
