The people doing that (and moreso, spreading the idea of it) largely are the intelligentsia (and largely not the proletarian intelligentsia), and while that’s one particular demonstrative act, its not by far the worst the faction doing it can be accused of.
So I’m not so sure that works as an example on multiple levels.

If they can't be even accused of dumping Bud Light cases (you say even this was devised by the intelligentsia), what is then the most egregious thing the poor did?
