    I don’t really know about everywhere else but the places I’ve been stateside, even in some really more underserved areas, there seems to be a really weird cult of money, status symbols (including people) and masks. It’s terribly hmm, dare I say “plasticine.”. Shakespearean, even.

      The bourgeoisie have always been this way. It is not a new phenomenon.

      See, e.g., logo-centric Louis Vuitton purses in the suburbs.
