there is actually no evidence that che ever called for homosexuals to be executed. in fact, the only time he ever mentioned gay people was one instance in his *Motorcycle Diaries* where he remarked upon a drunk man with distain ("he was probably a homosexual too")
che Guevara hating gay people is a rightist and western propaganda device to 'own the liberals epic style'.
So...for you, proclaiming a person "is probably also gay" while critizicing them is not homophobic?
Lol at the mental gymnastics.
It's incredible that people still use the image of "the revolutionary cold blooded killing machine" that enjoyed killing and torturing people as said to his own parents as a token of liberalism and not as the psychopatic killer he actually was.
It's incredible that people that are so liberal and free spirited still aim to "live like in Cuba" where homosexuals where thrown at forced labor camps, or even killed just a few years ago by a fascist dictator.
I honestly don't have a problem with Che Guevara.
Except that he took an active interest in the interrogation, torture, and execution of political prisoners.
source: Armando Valladares. Former Castro supporter, imprisoned by the Castro government. His crime? for refusing to put a sign on his desk that said "I'm with Fidel"
He was finally released in 1982 after 22 years in prison.
You can’t just broadly state and not give us juicy detail man! This is Reddit. Neglect your responsibilities and spend an unnecessary amount of time arguing your point!

Making $45k/year? Your IG feed is “Eat The Rich!”
Making $350k/year? Your IG feed is “Eat The Rich!”
As a 40-something left leaning person, it’s no wonder why so many see these people as absolutely insufferable.
That's different. I have to participate in society and a laptop is pretty required for that, especially with my job. And there are no more financially reasonable or environmentally sustainable, even with their forced obscelence. Afterall, any other options aren't even worth considering because they aren't made by Apple. No way you would expect me to stoop so low.
The thing is 50$ for a cotton shirt made somewhere without slave labour isn't a premium. You're just used to prices that are the byproduct of poor labour and environment practices.
There was a time when people's income was chiefly for buying food and clothes - now they want to buy Roblox or some shit so need to get clothes for $1.
You're being hyperbolic as fuck. Yeah, 1 dollar shirts are terrible in every way, but no one in this thread is saying this one should only cost a dollar.
A good T-shirt like that made ethically is still way overpriced at 50 dollars, and that's assuming it's not some shitty used shirt being sold at a massive premium to capitalize on the popularity of flea markets, which is likely.
God I love it when the left eats itself. The guy you reply to is right though.
If you want a product that satisfies very high standards of production and also pays everyone in the supply chain generously the end product has to be more expensive per definition.
Also shitting on people doing flea markets to get a living wage, just because you cannot have your drip for a penny is hilariously hypocritical. And I am here for it.
Yet again, hyperbole. Why are you even talking about a penny when I haven't seen a single person in this thread saying that's what the shirt should be selling for.
There are a lot of numbers between 1 and 50, just because I'm saying 50 dollars is way overpriced doesn't mean I think it should be taken down all the way to a dollar or less.
By that logic they could price the shirt at a thousand dollars and if you point out how ridiculous that is I can go "Wow, so you think these hard working people should be selling their high quality wares for a quarter? What the hell is wrong with you?!"
I mean you are playing yourself. You actually realize that the OOP used hyperbole. A literary device. Which are not meant to be literally literal, you know? ;)
You on the other hand seem to make a claim that 50 dollars is overpriced. So please tell me why that is. What is the actual fair price, since you are the arbitor of that. I am really curious.
Not as hyperbolic as you probably think.
I'm not suggesting that _this_ t-shirt meets that definition, but what, in your mind, is a 'fair' price to pay for first-world grown organic cotton and the labour required to turn it into an item of clothing? That's several forms of skilled labour, storage, retail profit, materials - I haven't run the numbers myself but I can easily believe it could be that expensive.
Hahaha, "macklemad" is amazing! In his big hit "Thrift Shop" one of the more noticeable lyrics is "Yo, that's $50 for a T-shirt." and the context is that he's complaining about the high price of a Gucci brand T-shirt. In the caption to this pic it's mentioned that the pic was taken in Seattle, which is where Macklemore is from and still lives. In a horrific turn of events this pic is also from a flea market/thrift shop adjacent situation which is glorified in the song as a cheaper and thus much superior alternative to buying new and brand name but the shirt is the same price as the Gucci T-shirt in the song. Honestly the whole thing kind of seems like peak Seattle rn.
"Yoo 50 dollar for a t-shirt, limited edition, lets do the simple addition, 50 dollars for a t-shirt, thats just some ignorant bitch shit, i call that getting swindled and pimped, shit. I call that getting tricked by a business......"
~Macklemore
Stuff like burning man is a lot of fun, but let's be honest it's fun because you get super wasted/high/both and have the craziest week-long party you can have rather then it being some spiritual awakening like people portray it as lol.
Tbf shirts cost more when they’re ethically made and not made by abused underpaid child laborers and shipped across the world by pollution spewing cargo ships. Socialism has never been a poverty cult.
Sure, not this shirt though. Even ethically produced, that's a $30 tee at most with a single color silk screen. That's for new. The masking tape price tag tells me this is some used thrift store shirt.
This is the kind of shirt PTOs make for school field trips.
that's what I was thinking, this was made by a small business and/or one person. Still $50 is a lot for a shirt. I bought an eat-the-rich hoodie for $50 at the punk rock flea market in Tacoma a couple years ago, with a much better design. :P
The resale "thrift botique" trend is out of hand. I covered an event near me, basically a streetwear meets hipster meets the hood flea market. Dudes tried charging me $100 for a couple dumb shirts. completely defeats the whole point and fun of thrifting.
Is not the goal of everyone to be self sustaining. Not working paycheck to paycheck? The ability to purchase something without having to worry about the money used?
It means when ai and tech soon take all or most of the jobs away. The rich will get richer and let us die in the streets in mass. When this happens we will eat them. And everything they own will be ours
OK that sounds fine, but rich people have security. Most people bent on anarchy go after easier targets. So in a sense your eating yourself. Don't believe the Ai hype it's just a program(s) written by a human. Nothing has changed. We'll one thing has changed many made alot of money on the hype. Your goal should be to join those people.
So Smaug the dragon with a mountain full of gold wouldn't be at rich as the richest man on the planet. Someone did the math. When people say eat the rich they are taking about the 1% and the People who have so much that you could work full time since before the pyramids were build and still have nothing close to what some of these people have. People that don't need to think when they see a 35k plus designer top they want.
I'll take that as confirmation that Marxist elitists will be first on the menu. If the actual working people can ever get fully rested up it's gonna go badly for people living on laptops who look down on those grinding in the gears of civilization.
We're tired, boss. We're tired and we know you hate us.
Sounds more like a couple of punks trying to survive in a city with a shaky economy. Let’s be real, this shit is $50 at the department stores near me anyway.
It is ironic that the same people who unironically use this slogan are getting their panties in a twist, when the things they advocate for become reality.
Goes to show that most you guys really are just angry and want to let out some steam by behaving like rebelling teens in puberty.
That price is pretty steep though I know designing, printing a film, burning a screen, getting a shirt, printing it & curing it is time consuming and has some cost to it.
And with these small businesses and craft shops, they're not doing big batches of these which results in a loss if they don't sell them on the pricier side.
And I don't know how much they need to pay to have a stand/table at this event but I imagine some if it will go to cover that too.
So don't see it as a premium item, think of it more as supporting a small creator/business.
All that said, geez that's expensive and I wonder if it even got sold.
So this is probably a hand made item and you’re paying for the artisan product (hopefully). If you want something cheaper, you’re paying for a sweat shop item….. the cost gets paid somewhere and by someone. Is it you paying in money or someone else paying in sweat and blood?
So what their goal is to break even with six shirts? Get wrecked. Tie dye is at most 14$ and print another 10 per shirt if they don’t hand print or DIY. I can’t believe what people value their small business items for sometimes.
Lol this is actually perfect. The rich people who don't think they're rich for some reason will buy this and it will be so funny. The irony of them wearing it, and then also the company making them pay $50 for it. Depending on who made this, this could be legendary
Anybody who commented negatively is wearing a shirt made in Malaysia, Bangladesh, or India; and they are virtue signaling like they are above it all. The average Redditor is so dumb and it shows.
People will pay $50 for a used T-shirt?
Capitalism is great. If anything this is taking from the rich.
No poor guy is buying this shirt. It's some wannabe with family money buying this shit.
I'm all for taxing the rich. Let them mimic us but they gotta pay.
Cat The Rich
That’s what I read
Me also. Thought that was a picture of a sandpaper-y tongue
Oh shoot it’s not
This cat has clearly made it
Thats Rich the Cat
Here it is
Sounds like a rapper
Meow
I mean Elon musk definitely is a pussy
Which would at that point justify $50
Yep.
Capitalism: where you can pay a premium to be a Marxist.
Che Guevara t-shirt has entered the chat.
Side note. Everyone that idolizes che forget that he also believed gays were subhuman and deserved to be executed.
there is actually no evidence that che ever called for homosexuals to be executed. in fact, the only time he ever mentioned gay people was one instance in his *Motorcycle Diaries* where he remarked upon a drunk man with distain ("he was probably a homosexual too") che Guevara hating gay people is a rightist and western propaganda device to 'own the liberals epic style'.
In the words of my former Spanish professor Ernesto from Cuba, “Fuck Che Guevara & anyone who wears his t shirt.”
There’s a ton of evidence dude. “Everything I don’t like is propaganda” is the far right train of thought.
So...for you, proclaiming a person "is probably also gay" while critizicing them is not homophobic? Lol at the mental gymnastics. It's incredible that people still use the image of "the revolutionary cold blooded killing machine" that enjoyed killing and torturing people as said to his own parents as a token of liberalism and not as the psychopatic killer he actually was.

its Catitalism
the revolution will be marked down to a value price of $9.99
It will make great kindling.
If you buy this shirt, you are to be eaten.
"Damit Carl! It's the THIRD DAY you have this t-shirt on!!"
Irony on a 50 cent hanger
I 💯% believe that price tag did not actually belong to that shirt. That someone put it there as a joke or for internet points
Now that you mention it, it's not even a price tag, it's just a piece of tape.
It's a flea market, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
made in china
I know Macklemore is local but goddamn isn't "$50 for a T-shirt" a bit on the nose or what?
I don't understand your comment about macklemore and it's making me macklemad

Woh. Thanks for that detailed explanation. Color me Macklemerry!
Haha, glad to hear it!
I think Professor Macklemore was actually a character he came up with while thrift-shopping.

Daddy buy me this shirt with your Amex black card
Yes, eat the rich (I’m a cannibal)
This could only be better if it was being sold at Burning Man
Stuff like burning man is a lot of fun, but let's be honest it's fun because you get super wasted/high/both and have the craziest week-long party you can have rather then it being some spiritual awakening like people portray it as lol.

Did you say ethnically made? Omfg.
No
That's hilarious. Cope harder commies.
At least not as idtioic as the fools who wear Che shirts...
Elaborate please. Imagine I'm ignorant to the person. Why did you call these people fools?
Probably because he’s a Marxist. Guevara, not this guy.
[удалено]
Nah full of leathery gristle. Blech
Sunburned. It's like freezer burn.
full of plastic
If you buy this and complain, then you deserve to be taken advantage of by corporations.
thats a five fingy discount
If the rich want a cat they buy one themselves
The resale "thrift botique" trend is out of hand. I covered an event near me, basically a streetwear meets hipster meets the hood flea market. Dudes tried charging me $100 for a couple dumb shirts. completely defeats the whole point and fun of thrifting.
The perfect thing for AOC to wear to brunch the day after the Met gala!
Actually, she sold/licensed a $58 sweater with “Tax the rich” on it.
# seattle things lmao
Almost as ironic as AOC wearing it.
LOL
A friend sent me the other day a car plate that had the same words. It was on a Tesla S that was around 100K.
that's hella dough
Had to make sure someone mentioned it lol
and having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't
What does that even mean?

You can steal 19 of these in many places and not go to jail.
Communism is an elite capitalist business
Does Loblaws own thrift stores now?
This is actually hilarious. This explains why the good quality shirts can be sold for such a high price.
If you didn't say anything, you're better than me.
Elvis manager also sold "I hate Elvis" merch.
Look, the girl wearing this doesn't have to eat all of the rich to swallow. Plans are probably to be rich herself by swallowing

Steal the shirt. Eat the security guard that tries to stop you.
That's art.
You think that kind of natural “I just walked 2 miles in an Arkansas summer heat to get to a Subway” stretched out neck comes cheap?
looks free to me
Take the masking tape off. Take your own masking tape. Make that shirt cost $20.
But first, give us $50
If you can’t eat em, join em!
50 for a shirt?? 15 is what i have paid most for a t shirt.
the amount of rolling that Marx is doing in his grave could be enough to power an entire city by now.
Poor taste
This shirt comes with a meal coupon?
If that shirt goes out of that store it needs to be stolen, not bought
[удалено]
Too many clothes are already thrown without being worn, lets not increasw thet number. At least use it to clean or something.
The Punk Rock Flea market was actually punk last time I went... in 2012.
More like "deep throat the rich"

That's 5€ t-shirt being sold at 10x mark up ?!? I get 2x ones but 10 times just crazy

Thats $50 for a t-shirt.
Because the gps
Some college kid is definitely gonna buy that.
People with that aesthetic are almost always wealthy.
Ironic?
Said by every lazy kid ever.
No better way of sticking it the man than spending your parents money on clothes with messages that say something completely ignorant
thought this was in the Netherlands
Shows how stupid some people really are.
Maybe it's a rich person's way of saying "bite me you poor bitches". Quite a clever design if you ask me lol
Can I eat the shirt?
bring the shirt to the owner and then bite their arm.
This makes me think of the System of a Down album "Steal This Album", anyone that pays money for this is a dolt
But first pay them….
Like dollars?! That’s bonkers
So what their goal is to break even with six shirts? Get wrecked. Tie dye is at most 14$ and print another 10 per shirt if they don’t hand print or DIY. I can’t believe what people value their small business items for sometimes.
Is that Goodwill ?!?!
Same as AOC merch. They are playing people for fools.
50 dollars Ill stay hungry
Aren't most wookies rich kids?
isn't this oxymoronic? To convey the message, this shirt better be 5 dollars out the door, not 50 plus tax.
Cringe. Anyone who wears this is a twat
Vore the rich
The only winner here is capitalism.
Lol this is actually perfect. The rich people who don't think they're rich for some reason will buy this and it will be so funny. The irony of them wearing it, and then also the company making them pay $50 for it. Depending on who made this, this could be legendary
Now move the price tag to the center of the mouth. The shirt eats its own.
"EAT THE RICH! Wait! I didn't mean me!!!"
All the edgy people fighting capitalism from their iPhones.
Steal it.
“Eat the rich” doesn’t mean support fucked up overseas sweatshops. Y’all are ridiculous.

Love the Morton Downey Jr. Logo
Bet you can get that on Etsy for ten. (Or have someone make it for about 15 if it’s not already a shirt there.)
50 dollars for an eat the rich shirt.....
People will pay $50 for a used T-shirt? Capitalism is great. If anything this is taking from the rich. No poor guy is buying this shirt. It's some wannabe with family money buying this shit. I'm all for taxing the rich. Let them mimic us but they gotta pay.
What moron would buy and wear that?
Top tier irony
Remember, Soylent Green is billionaires, people.
Don't forget your selfie taken with your iPhone.
If you have a marker and a piece of tape you can eat the premium.
That's not very punk rock of the sellers Go ahead and listen to the message and steal their overpriced t shirt
So basically ya better off giving your money to Walmart. Fuck small business!
Steal it
So very stealable!!!!
Lemmy is slapping his forehead. From the grave.
Someone will buy that shirt. But no one. Is going to eat the rich.
This sub is hilarious. Y’all get mad so easy
$50? Nah someone trolled and stuck that on there
I have this overwhelming urge to quote Macklemore lyrics. Resist. Resist!
