I used to wear this shirt around, some people yelled at me up at the Gorge Amphitheater. They said it was like wearing a Hitler shirt in public.
Originally it was a space for artists. It was a music festival that didn’t provide any music, musicians just showed up and performed so you would never know what you were going to see. Attendees were expected to literally be part of the event. Buying things, from food to drugs, was discouraged. You were supposed to just barter or provide for the community.
Obviously all that is out the window now. Its just a big wealthy orgy waiting to see Diplo.
I blame Vice and Netflix. People saw Euromaiden through Vice’s reporting and the documentary that was on Netflix and just assumed it was leftists in favor of democracy kicking out a Russian backed dictator.
The wiki page on the coup even lays it out plainly. Straight up Nazis like the Misanthrope Division kicked out elected officials.
