    The main difference between the two is towing capacity.

    That performative capitalism actually has a real world use, if a narrow one. See, I currently live out in the boonies. I see those oversized trucks all the time, and a few times a year they have massive flatbed trailers absolutely covered in field bales. Or they have livestock trailers and are hauling anything from pigs to horses to cows. Whatever.

    Or, sometimes you see trailers loaded with construction supplies.

    The point being, that little blue truck can haul two people and enough material to do a job down the field row, making stops back at the yard/barn/garage where that performative capitalism has hauled all the shit picked up from the lumberyard.

    But yeah, if you put that large truck in a city, it’s a jackass’ expensive penile compensator.

    And 90% of the time, it’s not even needed on a farm, either. But for that 10%, it’s the tool for the job.
