Perhaps too meta, but I wonder, what fraction of modern-day uses of Baader and Meinhof's eponym refer not to the Red Army Faction, but instead to the frequency illusion as named after ?
Edit: But we arrive at a fixed point in eponymy with the phenomenon, since repeatedly hearing about either it or the group is only an example of it in action:
There's still a weird romantic fascination with the RAF in the western part of Germany which always put me off (coming from the eastern half). I guess it's because a lot of the intellectuals among the "Alt-68er" ended up in influential positions in media and politics in West Germany.
And it seems like we have these terror apologists on here too. They would probably look down on you just for being from "the right wing east". Their mindset is truly bizarre.

Apparently, that's their legacy, as far as HN comments go:
