I wish people would stop spouting this nonsense. In my country, rich people are very flashy, whether they are “old money” or “new money.” Other countries may be different. Not every rich person is exactly the same (though being rich is unethical, so they are all the same in that regard).

There is a nugget of truth to it but it’s more of a middle class thing where the blokes who show money aren’t necessarily the ones who have money.

All good lies have bits of truth in them. All of these very public rich people have PR firms behind them designing their image.

How is it propaganda? What’s the mental process it’s trying to induce?

Trying to invoke feelings other than the disgust you should have for their actions.
