Personally, I don't think it is good to think in terms of "marketing" or "advertising" here. If T-shirts are designed, they should be designed for the people that are going to wear them.

Yes, but it's also important to let the people know about these freedoms and why they are important. And to rightfully do this one has to believe in and live this ideals oneself.
It's not that I question your believes. I only think that it's easy to loose track of what is really important when one watches things from a "marketeers" point of view.

No problem here :) I'm all for cool T-shirts, too!
