keep in power

In a perfect example of autonomous self-degradation, two members of the working class today butted heads regarding an illegal act of war-like aggression carried out by the person legally in charge of the nation-state in which they lived. Instead of turning their energies toward toppling the existing power-structure and reclaiming for the American people resources badly needed to fund education, health care, and infrastructure, the pair spent time and effort arguing over who was more foolish, who less well-informed, who more of a snowflake, pansy, weakling, whose life was worth less in the overall scheme of things.

Instead of marching in the streets to protest the killing of innocent children by a war-mongering proto-fascist, they threw words back and forth across the wireless aether, neither side winning, both sides losing. Wasting their lives in this way, they played right into the hands of - and helped keep in power - the few thousand individuals who own all the money and property in the world.
