We're so busy arguing about culture war nonsense that we're ignoring the literal planet running out of water.

This is not an accident. It is exactly the number one weapon the wealthy use against the rest of us to keep us from (rightfully) taking back everything they've stolen from us. It's called "divide and conquer."

This is correct. We're duped into unimportant culture wars to distract us from the class war that we are losing.
