Some days ago I saw people who attended a Fridays for Future demonstration excitedly put political stickers on a shiny blue Lamborghini which was obviously parked at the wrong point in spacetime.
When discussing this with a friend, we concluded that there was quite strong symbolism in that situation - like direct payback for the unnecessary pollution of the planet, the car being the canvas where the activists were able to project their anger onto.
We also talked about luxury cars being a symbol of social inequality.
And only later it hit me, how luxury cars, among other things, are usually called status symbols and how actually they could also be called symbols of equality.


Of course! How else will everybody know that I’m better than them?
