Two appearances for the public: look like a pragmatic worker (on weekends, Fred Hampton), and look like someone to take seriously (MLK, Malcolm X)
The whole "I wanna look however I want!" thing is straight up idealism when it comes to rhetoric and politics, do you think you're going to command respect from people working two manual labor jobs looking like you woke up at 1PM hungover and wearing an oversized videogame shirt
"But dirtbag left!" That shit was never for organizing or actually acquiring power, that was just a coping mechanism for disaffected American almost-leftists, doing coke and having edgy humor isn't enough
