^Very much this.
Like any accusation of atrocity propaganda against anti-imperialist states, villifying of immigrants, or accusations of lack of democracy, we now have an easy new Western Magnum Opus to point to; it won't convince anyone still benefiting from present material conditions but it may help any nasecent leftist organisations/proto-organisations in the west to help sharpen their political theory of attack ie who not to waste their time "persuading".
exactly, the dynamic is that as the system continues to break down, more and more people are falling out of the liberal mainstream, and these sort of things help illustrate how the whole system works for them
For anyone who has read down this far, book recommendation: Thinking in Systems by Meadows (recommended initially by OP :) )
