I agree that all of the events you've listed are probably happening somewhere in the world, but I disagree that we should all just accept this as "the world we live in" and carry on. Look back across history and consider what would have happened if at any point, the people on the losing end of any deal were to simply keep their heads down and keep working.

It's worth talking about. It's worth criticizing. It may not be worth obsessing over, but it is worth some portion of our attention.

It is only worth attention if that attention becomes productive action. So yeah, criticize, only if you think someone influential is listening.

A mass of dissatisfied citizens can become quite influential all on their own.
