And?
She is one person in Congress. You are telling me the other … What -300 some-odd people in Congress and dozen people on the committee can't make sure she doesn't blow anything up?
What is suspicious, to me, is why everyone suddenly cares so much about AOC.
If anything, I empathize with her situation more so than I criticize. My generation largely did what it was told. We were sat down in front of videos and experts who told us that we would see the end of fossil fuels in our lifetime, that our grandchildren wouldn't have penguins and polar bears, etc. We were told we needed degrees to get good jobs, and so many did. They ate the mortgage-sized student loans because there is no way in hell you can "work through" college, these days. Not without sucking cock, at least.
Funny that the same bank owners and country club elites who shell out for such debt relief services then want to turn around and cast dispersions at my generation for expecting the participation trophy they gave us as kids, taking on the debt we were encouraged to "as an investment in ourselves," and believing the propaganda they fucking authored.
So, frankly, AOC is the model millennial. She is exactly what my generation was constructed to be as. That she is being attacked so harshly means what? She is a threat.
Don't get me wrong, AOC knows much of the game. Perhaps not all, and perhaps she is not "part of the plan" - but if I am going to direct hostilities at anyone, it will be toward the country club peanut gallery.
Sure, there are retards among every generation and my own has been rather sluggish to react to reality. But I kinda have to reee at the people who don't get how absolutely fucked my generation and "gen z" are/were. We were thrust into an economy where home ownership was next to impossible for most, where service industries were almost the only option, and where a caste system was imposed to keep hold of the trades.
People do not understand what was in store. I will put it this way - my father and my uncle split on bad terms regarding business. My uncle went to China to do some consulting on factory design, construction, and operations. My father remained in the U.S. and employed by a company here.
My mother and her mother contracted cancer. That drew along for years until she died. The factory where my father was the general manager burned down. The owners decided to consolidate operations to near St. Louis.
My cousins all saw relatively rapid promotions within their various fields of employ.
Now - don't get me wrong, I don't think my uncle did anything wrong - but I do think my family's circumstances go beyond coincidence. I think my father and uncle were given a choice, and the powers that be rewarded my uncle's decision and penalized my father's. My family's wealth was destroyed and it will be difficult for me to recover.
Relations with that side of the family have been strained for some time - and while I have no particular anger or hatred toward them - there is an awkwardness that sits uneasy with me - though in the case of my cousins, I admit that is probably mostly in my head.
This is also not to say that I think my cousins do not deserve the positions they have achieved. They are very smart and competent people. When you do a survey of "elite" positions, what often happens is that families pay to build a corner office for the ceremonial staff and to keep them well paid, and then yield the functional position to a carefully selected, competent person.
It's a disgusting, evil game - and many people are forced to play in it. My generation was, largely, slated to be serfs serving the whims of the cultural elites and local country club warlords. Compounded with the penetration of the NGO surveillance state, it was a system that would forever doom the human race.
