What does this abstraction contribute to the discourse? Does it rile up support for fixing potholes? Does it rile up support for Palestine?

My feeling is it obfuscates the issues and makes progress seem impossible.

It draws attention to the fact that we are paying money to shoot missiles at innocent Palestinian children.
