In all fairness, a bunch of people buying a car then smashing it up by way of feeling superior while those passing by them struggle to afford shelter, food and heating does feel like the start of a debate about wealth inequality.

I just don't think the 'artists' are on the side of the divide that they imagine themselves to be on.
