Did they see a broken monitor and think "thats it! that is the symbol to unify every commie degenerate!"

But seriously its part of the intentional push (since the turn of the century) to pretend that ugliness somehow has a "deeper meaning" that only those with "refined tastes" who "get it" will appreciate.

As a way to differentiate the new aristocrats from the peasants, also like pretending that expensive wine tastes better than cheap wine.
