Yep, and look how well it's working. We've gone from occupy wall st, which was about ultra-extreme-unbelievably-rich vs everyone else, to the "culture war", which is everyone except the ultra rich vs each other. I hate it so much.

This. The sleight of hand that replaced class awareness with false awareness based on race is all you need to know about where progressive politics diverged radically from the traditional liberal left in the past decade. This is poison for the Democratic party and for workers' rights. It's pretty much the hitlerian model of substituting racial groups and racial strife as a corporatist placebo for class awareness to keep the masses atomized and confused.
