There’s a French sociologist who explained this. His name was Pierre Bourdieu. In his book “Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste” he explained how the taste scale is manipulated by the rich and powerful by culturally engineering good-bad tastes, because the power lies solely in their hands to rationalize what their wealth can afford over the less fortunate as good taste. He later argued that anything can be regarded as “good taste” as long as it’s associated with the elites as even when their original taste became easily afforded, they move in the opposite direction of materialism. For instance, when the ordinary people could afford loud luxury, they elites moved onto quiet luxury.
As with El Dee’s example here, BWM will “cast” not because it’s no longer BMW, but because the value is tied to how many people can afford it. It’s all social engineering. Jazz music is not objectively a better music taste than other genres, neither is golf objectively more exquisite than any other sport. It’s all manipulation, and so unfortunate that the poor are helping them establish this artificial segregation.

Dear Election Observers,
I am sure that you have heard complaints about Zimbabwe’s judiciary and how normal people perceive it to be captured and partisan towards the ruling party.
Zimbabwe’s main opposition party CCC went to court, the Zimbabwean High Court, demanding the voters roll.
The court has ruled that the matter is not urgent, which means it can be heard after the election.
You all know that an election is the Voters Roll.
How can the matter not be urgent when the election is taking place in 9 days time?
For background;
The Zimbabwean constitution stipulates that any citizen of Zimbabwe can access the Voters Roll.
Yet here we are, the main participant in the election is being denied the Voters Roll.
How can such an election be free, fair and credible?
Please RETWEET so that the Election Observers can see this.
This brutal violence by ZANUPF thugs is a reality of what happens in communities where citizens feel powerless and where ZANUPF thugs feel that they are above the law.
This brutal violence happened in Nyatsime @PoliceZimbabwe
RETWEET it until @PoliceZimbabwe responds to this!
