In reading my Backpacker magazine, I came accross a "gift card" for 500 dollars worth of "free" stuff.
I looked at the merchandise, because who can pass up all that free stuff right?
However, in looking at the styles of sunglasses, I found them all disturbing for some reason that I couldn't put my finger on...
After some thought, I figured out it was the bold red star symbol on each and every pair of sunglasses.
You see kids, nothing symbolism communism in today's era better than a big, bold red star.
Don't believe me? Look at the flags of China, North Korea, and Vietnam...
I thought, what is this, a method of propaganda to spread communism by giving away free merchandise with the communist red star emblazoned upon it?
"We'll just put the communist symbol out there, and make it a fashion statement, and all the idiots will gobble it up!" They will get used to seeing the Red Star, and subliminally, they will become accustomed to, and comfortable with wearing the symbol of communism of the 21st century....
I mean why not, right? We already support all those countries by instead of making things ourselves, we pump lots of money into communist regimes by buying their cheap crap....
So let's all just forget about all the human rights violations that are known to take place in China, and very strongly suspected in North Korea.....
Let's forget about all the pollution that China puts into the air. So much so, that they had to shut down industry for 2 weeks before the Olympics to make the air worthy to breath, and seemed to fail at that.
So go ahead and get your free crap that says hey "I'm an idiot that thinks communism is harmless!"
F-you! Communism, and screw you, "Red Star Worldwear"!
...and yes, I am totally serious! It is weird!
The real problem is that the people that are going to snatch this up, are the young teens, and young adults that didn't grow up during the cold war era, and really don't know what communism means.
They may be even too dim to realize that the flags of the countries named above have the red star as the unifying symbol of Asian communism...
The idiots wearing this stuff may in fact have no idea of what the communist flag of China, and North Korea even look like...
Whether your suppressing free speech or free thought by controlling which internet pages your countrymen can see, invading Tibet to bring that population into line with what is good for the "people", or launching mortar shells across the border to your neighbors for invading your NEW BORDERS, you will look great in these fashionable sunglasses, made by sweat shop workers in some of your favorite suppressive destinations! Wear these, and you will FINALLY get the respect, and fear you so desire!!
