There’s something beautifully absurd about wearing a pure truth nvke on your chest delivered with the unbothered serenity of an insane cult leader in flowing robes.
The quote on the shirt, lifted from the famous viral clip (see youtube video below), is pure gold — delivered in Guru Osho’s signature half-drowsy, half-laser-focused cadence, like he’s watching civilization collapse with a monk’s calm detachment: “Democracy basically means… government… by the people… for the people… [long pause] but… the people are retarded.”
It’s the kind of thing that makes you laugh first, then think, then laugh again, louder this time, because you realize, wow… the people really are retarded.
The shirt is a Rorschach test in apparel form. Some will see it as a cynical indictment, others as a hilarious punchline to the world’s longest-running joke. Maybe it’s both. Maybe, as Osho himself might have said, the only thing more foolish than the people are the ones who expect anything else. Either way, the moment you put it on, you become both the comedian and the enlightened one. or you’re just calling everyone but you retarded, which people like to do.
How it's made
This unisex garment-dyed t-shirt is made with medium fabric (6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²)) consisting of 100% ring-spun US cotton for year-round comfort that is sustainable and highly durable. The relaxed fit keeps the wearer comfy in both casual and semi-formal settings while the crew neckline delivers that classic, neat style which makes it perfect for accessorizing. The fabric is pre-shrunk to ensure a consistently great fit.
The cotton for the shirt is ethically grown and harvested, and the US Cotton Trust Protocol has ensured an ethical and sustainable production.
