Sorry that the new, rich pseudo-left with their stock options and identity politics no longer approves of that look.
So much for diversity.
- crocko 6y agoI tend rock a similar look to Stallman and the sad reality is that people don't look at you favourably either way. I frequently get odd looks by people when out for a walk and I get stopped quite a lot by the police (I am White and live in the UK). Simply putting on a clean shirt, some proper shoes and having a shave does wonders in this regard. That is the reality of it unfortunately. EDITED for clarity.
- daffy 6y ago> Simply putting on a clean shirt, some proper shoes and having a shave does wonders in this regard. Just curious: what do you think of the view that such superficial acts are gestures of respect towards one's fellow man?
- crocko 6y agoIt is simpler than that. Looking clean and tidy tells other people that you take care of yourself, which is a minimum indication that you are competent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqp5zI4Ng_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqp5zI4Ng_s

- plsjH 6y agoLooks != "outlook on". The post you replied to clearly mentioned his physical looks, i.e. long hair, beard and old clothes. I'm sure that the things you mention never had 100% approval of the left in the 1970s. In fact I've never met a leftist from that era who held those views, and I'd be quite disturbed if they did.
