Reply to comment by Careful-Prior9639 in TIL that Che Guevara was passioned about rugby, and he played it during his school years. In 1951 he also launched a rugby magazine Tackle, writing the whole thing himself by SteO153

Whatever world you're brain is living in isn't this one. Liberals are not fans of him at all.
The people who wore those shirts, mostly frat boy types, have no idea about politics. If they did, they wouldn't wear that shirt. If you ever see someone wearing it just ask if they even know who that dude is and chances are they won't. Once they get to that class in college they tend to stop wearing the shirt.

Maybe he meant the Cuban communist revolutionaries. I mean that's pretty left-ish by any definition

In Europe left is not a synonym for liberal; that's the world my brain lives in. And it's 'your'.

And liberals are not leftists, so that’s entirely unrelated to the comment above yours.
Not that I necessarily fully agree with the sentiment of the comment you replied to, but that’s another matter.
PS: and reducing people wearing Che T-shirts to “frat boys who don’t even know who he is” is just completely wrong… at least outside of the US.
