Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently blathered on about climate
change—as she is wont to do. At the Climate Crisis Summit in Des Moines,
Iowa, she said: "The way we
inoculate ourselves from continuing to burn up our planet at an unsustainable
level, triggering feedback loops that we have not even begun to comprehend, is
by honoring indigenous wisdom and allowing it to guide our climate
policy. The way that we preserve our systems is by transitioning to principles
of universality.”
Feedback loops? AOC hasn’t even
begun to comprehend the Froot Loops she ate this morning. We need to let
indigenous wisdom guide our climate policy? Are we to bring back the rain-dance
and pray to the Great Spirit? And what are the “principles of universality” to
which she is referring? If they are not already ours, are they really universal?
Canadian activist and “climate
prophet” Naomi Klein spoke before AOC, referring to “two fires”: climate change
and divisive conservative politicians like President Trump who divide America
with “white supremacy.” The Prophet Klein stated: "Do we think it is a
coincidence that these two fires are raging at the exact same time? And as
these strongmen turn their populations against each other, that frees them up
for the real business at hand which is pillaging the earth. We cannot win this
fight without battling white supremacy.
I liked Patsy Klein better.
Ocasio-Cortez
continued, saying, “I want you clothed, I want you educated, I want you paid a
living wage, no ifs, ands, or buts. And what that also means — and what Naomi
talked about as well — is directly, consciously, combatting white supremacy in
the United States of America.” I want
AOC clothed, too, but she was supposedly educated, and look how she
turned out. She went on to disparage consultants who she said encouraged her to
focus on technological solutions to the “climate crisis,” and avoid the social
justice tie-ins, advice she summarily dismissed as wrong-headed.
AOC, like many
progressives, possesses the uncanny ability to see “white supremacy” behind
everything. Blaming conservatives for dividing the country and fomenting racial
unrest is a preposterous reversal of reality. Leftists have been fanning the
flames of racial, gender and class unrest for many years now. Parroting Geico, it’s
what they do. In fact, the left accuses its political opponents of standing
for—and doing—precisely what it itself stands for and does, often making it
seem to rational people that they are living in some bizarre, illogical,
alternate universe.
Whether speaking
of Russian collusion, global warming, transgenderism, Socialism—or a host of
other things—progressives prefer feelings over facts. Ironically, this is often
truer the higher their “education” level. Unfortunately, due to their nearly
total control of academia and the mainstream media, their B.S. in B.S.
persuades far too many people.
Never in the
course of human history have so many been so deluded by so few.
