Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”
So childish. “I didn’t get what I want! I quit!” “You can’t tell me what to do!”. Get over yourself.
I owe you literally nothing. I owe the world literally nothing. I could just off myself out of spite and I’d be 100% in the right because I literally did not choose to be born, no individual chooses to be born.
That said, I earnestly wanted the world to be better. I used to have a small sliver of hope for that. My resentment toward politics comes from seemingly having to swim up a fucking waterfall while people who ought to have been my allies hold my ankles.
“Whine, whine, whine.” The world doesn’t owe you anything either, bud. And the only people that piss and moan about that are privileged children. Adults get to work making things happen, and understand it’ll be long, frustrating work to do so.
Human society owes the individual human everything. Every individual. Especially a society that has any pronatalist inclinations.
Otherwise, what’s the point of continuing human society at all? Why birth new sentient beings on the expectation that they be the one’s to work all their life and suffer for a future that is constantly out of reach? To make humanity great? Why? No one consents to being born.
Your focus on my personal privilege and selfishness is myopic and indicates an unwillingness to engage with my points. Its an attack on my character and I earnestly don’t care if you think I’m a piece of shit. I want you to be better than me. I want you to face reality or explain to me why I am actually wrong.
Yeah this is definitely a white heterosexual man. The privilege is wafting off those sentences.
White, yes. Bisexual though. AMAB, but honestly IDK what my gender is. I just go by he/him for convenience though.
Significantly Autistic. Negative net worth from the expense of a nearly worthless college degree. Live in a red state rural American wasteland. Terrified of death yet still with suicidal idealization as of late.
But honestly none of this matters. Concern over Identity is all virtue ethics. I don’t care about virtue ethics. My identity doesn’t intrinsically matter outside the consequences of it. Whether I’m correct matters. Consequences matter. Or at least, mattered.
As if no drag queen has never once loudly shouted
There are lots of people out there with all kinds of takes. Don’t just assume what you want to be true. (Even if it might be)
