Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's have a fashion advice thread.
Ballard:
The funniest thing is watching hipsters of a Jewish background (the same who like talking out their ass about their misguided Zionist beliefs) prance around wearing keffiyehs not realizing that the garment they are wearing advertises their support of pan-Arabic reunification and the destruction of the Israeli state.

Particularly hipster girls.

This is where the argument about keffiyehs in this thread started last time. You can click on the link at the top of the quote box to go back to that post on page 19 and read onwards from there.
Just thought I'd save everybody a lot of trouble.

See, I thought the whole point of hipsterism was to out-irony the other guy.
I might actually go buy a keffiyeh tomorrow. Why? Cos I think they look pretty cool. I'm pro-Palestine, but that has fucking nothing to do with what I wear.

Mix it up with a turquoise yamacha and a nazi party arm band, then you'll really stick it to the man!

Ahhh I spent like 20 mins trying to find this convo, anyway I didnt we decide that it really isnt about Palestinian solidarity since its just been adopted as a piece of fashion. And its roots were actually in functionality to keep sand out of desert peoples faces. So as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity realistically can only be acknowledge as more of a Yassir Arafat solidarity symbol at most. And even then it petered out in 2003 or whatever when Hamas replaced the PLO in some dubious elections.
