The false choice according to the least awake looks like this:
Left/Right! Red/Blue! Trump/Harris!
Just dumb, just no.
The false choice for the slightly more thoughtful; the types that might have once supported ol’ Bernie for example, comes down to embracing the system and attempting to prosper within it.
“Socialist” tweaks to vulture capitalism, or
“Stakeholder” capitalism vs. the traditional pure shareholder kind.
Like that.
Still all false.

The real choice.
Keep your eyes tightly shut and live within the illusion of the matrix, as above.
Or.
Open them, and face living with the facts on the ground, and total Despair.
