I understand the sentiment, but believe that such frame-breaking or consciousness-raising actions do harm to people that lack power, and can often play into the narrative of those in power instead of breaking it.

IMHO if you are trying to dispel an illusion, you've got to provide something of value in its place. If you can succeed in that, you not only can win people over, but create new agents of change.

Does this apply to the attacks on Net Neutrality? Is there a thing of value we can provide to win people over to Net Neutrality?

I highly doubt it. It's not on most people's radar. I was speaking more broadly, and about strategies for long term change.
