The more we're thrown into conflict with each other through engineered distrust, the less able we are to unite against those responsible.
The issue of false consciousness is a genuinely difficult problem that has no definite solution. We should not approve of an unequal and brutal society because surveys show that people are happy. But who has the right to tell those oppressed women or starving landless peasants that they shouldn__ be happy, if they think they are? Does anyone have the right to make those people feel miserable by telling them the __ruth_? There are no easy answers to these questions, but they definitely tell us that we cannot rely on __ubjective_ happiness surveys to decide how well people are doing.
