I think it signals the wrong values to the rest of society. We're all influenced by behaviours we see glorified or rewarded. There's damage being done collectively. But I don't think the person engaging in luxurious consumption is a bad person for it. I just think they're being suckers.

In fact, maybe these people are not even dumb. Maybe they are buying into this stupid shit just to be hated, and see it as a reward from society for their achievements? If society hates rich, why should the rich not try to compete in attracting the hate, just seeing it as a sign of recognition, and try to get the top bang for the buck (without going to jail)?
