Kooky Cortez.. Loves govt force, Not liberty

I am certainly open to the possibility I am misguided here when it comes to the quality of their characters, I am talking more about egalitarianism in general and its importance.

I am not talking about the community, I don’t know much about them. I just think folks should be treated equally.

They could be horrible people, and from the looks of things here, they probably are.

There’s absolutely something to be said for championing mens rights and equal treatment in certain areas.

The red-pill lot are completely toxic though.

Fair enough. I haven’t really looked deep or even shallow into the movement. I will certainly take your word on it so I don’t have to explore what appears to be a toxic ideology from what I see here.

You know how I found them? I mean I knew they existed but never really took them seriously. I watched the latest Star Wars film, liked it, it was divisive, so I said, “Self, let’s go look at the most popular anti Last Jedi videos on YouTube”-the ones with oodles of views-and I did and OHMIGOD WHY IS THIS ABOUT JEWS AND FEMINAZIS AND SJWS AND WHY ARE THE COMMENT SECTIONS FULL OF WHITE NATIONALISTS.

She won because a majority of voters in NY-14 preferred her over the GOP candidate. She received 100,004 (77.9%) votes of the 128,410 cast. Do we really need to explain how house representatives are elected again?

It’s a bit like the whole “white rights” thing.

There is a core of an argument that’s all fine (whites don’t get to be proud of their race or form pro-white groups?), but the kind of people attracted to (and inevitably go on to represent) the movement are usually incredibly toxic and the predictable happens.

I’d pretty much say the same of the pro-Palestinian movement as well. It’s so riddled with anti-semites that it isn’t really recoverable.

Yeah I was never a fan of the SJW stuff, and think there are plenty of criticisms to be made of some of the decisions being made in media today in terms of forced representation, boycotts, oversensitivity and backlashes etc etc

But the anti-SJW stuff is like the flip side of the coin if not worse. I swear social media has driven everyone ■■■■■■■ crazy. Like I legit think it could cause the downfall of modern society, if it hasn’t already.

I think most of them are freaking out because of political positions orwhat they perceive her positions to amount to instead of her being a woman.

I doubt that.

If Alexandria Cortez-Ocasio did not exist, Foxnews would have to invent her.

That is the truth. I don’t like the “social justice warriors”, but I like their most vocal critics even less. If only the “social justice warriors” existed, I’d tell them their flaws and shrug them off whenever they’d call me racist/sexist/whatever. They wouldn’t be on my mind.

If you say so. To me, she is more bat sh!# crazy than kookey. She’s impatient. It will be interesting six months down the road from now how frustrated she will be when she can’t get any of her wacky socialist issues on the floor for a vote. It should be fun!

If she was a conservative, then she wouldn’t be getting most of it.

She reminds me of Trump.

Sure. If Trump was a socialist with zero accomplishments who just got her first big girl job. :grin:

Last jedi sucked…just saying

Well, she wasn’t born rich like Donny so it’s tough to compare their accomplishments.

I was referring more to over ambitious, impatient, and prone to saying dumb stuff due to in no small part to ignorance.

But the problem is that Trump is a septagenarian so his ignorance is harder to rationalize. He’s also the chief executive and she’s a freshmen representative so Trump has the ability to far, far more damage.

I can accept that.
