Pajamas Media has a post on Occupy LA, the one year anniversary.♠ The report noted that some were wearing Che T-Shirts. do the younger people not know who Che was? Surely they know. Thus, can I assume that those with the T-Shirts and those around the wearers are open about their homophobia? Can I assume that those wearing the Che T-Shirts are for giving guns to sociopaths? Can I assume those wearing the T-Shirts are happy with people settling their differences by executing those they disagree with?
What a mess!
At least they aren't wearing Hitler or Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot T-Shirts. Compared to those mass murderers, Che is small time.

A facet of human nature is that we tend to cherry pick what we like about certain celebrities, while minimizing the negatives.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, I've seen a bunch of this witty clip of Ronald Reagan, zinging Jimmy Carter during a debate.
Yet, Reagan's admirers seem to comepletely unremember the fact Reagan committed treason, via the Iran-Contra affair.
