And it's a silly point to make -- he could easily have started out on a flipped right-handed guitar, and then switched to a lefty in the past 25 years. Christ, even the one in the photo is just a $500-600 Epiphone, not some jagoff dentist custom shop piece made from endangered tree species. I could have picked up that exact model off of Reverb for under $400 pre-pandemic. I didn't, because I'm not in a jazz band, a baby boomer, or someone who jerks off in the mirror while wearing a Malcolm Young mask (but I repeat myself...), but you get the idea.
There are a lot of good fuckin' reasons to rag on Blinken (like the fact that in that photo, he's playing a Neil Young song that trashes neoliberal imperialist capitalism, in Kyiv, without a fucking hint of irony), but "playing guitar left-handed while being 60 years old is bourgeois, ackshually" is a deeply weird hill to die on.
