Is it cynical if it's true?
Star Wars is arguably worse. We all identify with the attractive people in the Resistance, and we're all sure we'd be on their side if we were in that world. Meanwhile our actual country, to which we actually pay taxes, is as bad as the Evil Empire.
The point is that there is fiction that you don't have to be cynical about. And this is what grown-ups should spend their time on.
