@jon I'm reminded of a short clip in an Adam Curtis (I think it was) documentary where a black-and-white woman with a clipboard is surveying people on the street and her comments to the camera are basically about putting the person just being interviewed into a particular social class based on their general appearance. It reminds me that that whole "focus group"-based politicking never really moved away from being inherently class-based. We just have different labels and granularity these days but it all still feeds into what is essentially a caste system. It's almost as if the idea of genuine interiority is beyond these people.
