I loved when suburban hipsters in the late 90s / 2000's used to wear his face on their tshirts. One of the most ridiculous trends of my era.

Shopper: What says I'm counter-culture and care about the environment?

Store clerk: This T-shirt made in China featuring the image of a mass killer.

It was a time when he was portrayed as a "revolutionary" hero. The trend with the tee's died soon afterwards when all his war crimes were leaked to public internet.

It wasn't ā€œleakedā€ people just had easier ways of accessing information. It was always available.

Cool.

Here's a list of the documented victims Che Guevara is known to have a direct hand in killing.

He was also a murderous scumbag. The left should choose it's heroes more wisely.

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 thatā€™s entirely unrelated to the comment above yours.

Not that I necessarily fully agree with the sentiment of the comment you replied to, but thatā€™s another matter.

PS: and reducing people wearing Che T-shirts to ā€œfrat boys who donā€™t even know who he isā€ is just completely wrongā€¦ at least outside of the US.
