      No he did and still does. I’ve seen photos of him running around south America doing first aid in the jungle, but they were all very blurry.

      That was what I noticed as well, scare quotes atound his name as if he was a vague or fantastical concept.

      The Facebook Boomer form of grammar is fascinatingly stupid.

        Personally I’m a Che truther. He really does exist. A friend of mine found some of his poop once near a recently quenched campfire in Chile.

        Yeah but if I believed in scary quote then I’d think everyone would get scared if I said “lacked good hygiene ritual”

        But my next thought was they believe the person in the picture was doubted to be Che. Maybe that adds fantastical element of Che living on and orchestrating events presumably to this day

        But the author was being petty

          Che isn’t his name it’s a nickname. I think they’re using quotation in the sense of naming convention Ernesto “Che” Guevara would normally be used to denote it is a nick name and not part of his legal name.

          I’m old though and reading things with continually common grammar from the last few centuries until the modern digital era has started changing things isn’t a problem for me to figure out from the context it’s written in unlike those people who are bothered by “scare quotes” that havent been reading things since before the internet existed
