you’re right that I should have just posted, but I failed Sankara and became tired of explaining.

if I had been able to find the pasta I wanted to post in the first place, I would give it to you. (it looks like BadEmpanada has a video debunking this but I can’t bring myself to watch enough of that asshole right now to vet it for linking to you).

this is just from recollection, but Che mentions homophobia in his youth (I think in Motorcycle Diaries?) but there’s no evidence for it later in his life. there are multiple fabricated smears, one that BE mentions is the claim that Che had Ginsberg thrown out of Cuba— when you examine the dates on this, it turns out Che was on a diplomatic tour and never in Cuba at the same time as Ginsberg.
