[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2018424, member: 4235"] I guess I see it in the same way as some dumb-ass college freshman wearing a Che Guevara shirt... most likely he has no idea who Che really was or any of the monstrous things he did, and he probably wouldn't give a damn even if he did know... he is just wearing it because it is "cool," and maybe because it carries some shock factor or notoriety. It is the same thing as the guys who post pics of their Mosins with a bunch of Soviet memorabilia, with the hammer and sickle and/or red star displayed conspicuously; or the Nazi memorabilia collectors Moboost decries so vociferously. It is usually either out of ignorance, or a dumb-ass juvenile impulse to be "cool" or "different." Either way I just find it mildly annoying, like most other ignorant, childish, and dumb-ass behavior. If I had to stifle an urge to put my fist through someone's face every time I witnessed behavior falling into one of those categories, I don't think I would remain sane for long. I save my real outrage for the people who do more than simply admire the symbols of some statist philosophy, or even those who buy into it... the ones that really get me going are those who attempt to actually put statism into action, and violate other people's rights. For those people, getting my fist through their face would be getting off light, as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
