But it's basic human behavior, it doesn't only happen with the plastic boxes it happens about everything, and i believe it is not so much about feeling superior but about justifying a desicion you made.
And it's a way of having fun as well, nothing beats a good argument. But i agree that some people take it all way too seriously.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
