Ocasio-Cortez on Millennials: ‘We’re Like the World Is Going to End in 12 Years if We Don’t Address Climate Change’

Via Grabienews

The world is going to end in 12 years unless the government takes action, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday at a Martin Luther King forum in New York City.

Here’s an excerpt from her interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates:

“And I think the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we’re like, the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change. You’re biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it? — and like this is the war, this is our World War II. And I think for younger people looking at this are more like, how are we saying let’s take it easy when 3,000 Americans died last year, how are we saying let’s take it easy when the end person died from our cruel and unjust criminal justice system?

How are we saying take it easy, the America that we’re living in today is dystopian with people sleeping in their cars so they can work a second job without healthcare and we’re told to settle down. It’s a fundamental separation between that fierce urgency of now, the why we can’t wait that King spoke of. That at some point this chronic reality do reach a breaking point and I think for our generation it reached that, I wished I didn’t have to be doing every post, but sometimes I just feel like people aren’t being held accountable. Until, we start pitching in and holding people accountable, I’m just gonna let them have it.”

They want to use their global warming scam to seize complete control of society at every level – economic, political, and social. Life under these people will involve them, utter morons, micromanaging every aspect of *your* life – and heavily regulating you, and then heavily taxing you for the privilege of having them doing it.

Riiigghhtt. Climate change.
So, I’m like: How big is your CO2 footprint, and energy consumed, with your actions, as
compared to the energy production you’ve contributed or fostered by those capable of energy production?

She’d be better advised to address the climate change in the space between her ears, and work to fill it up
with some reality based knowledge, and then spread it to her base followers, like, don’t you think, honey?

Try smiling without exposing those chicklets for a change. Stop exhaling. You’re adding to the CO2 levels.

I just read another half-assed article on Bloomberg about how Ray Dalio says her 70% tax rate idea is taking root.
It’s amazing how shockingly stupid AOC really is. The people promoting AOC KNOW when the government owns the means of production the serfs will own nothing and will be reduced to stealing and killing each other to survive.
I think this is what TPTB truly wants, but it’s playing with fire.

And I’m like, climate change is bad, and Trump is like no to that like Paris climate thingie, and I’m like Orange Man is bad, LOL, and he’s like build a wall to make sure people from places north of us, like Mexico, El Nicaragua, and South Africa will starve, and I’m like impeach the Nazi Putin lover, and he’s like lower taxes on corporations, and I’m like raise taxes on everyone so we’re all happy and stuff.

I’m like going to give her like 2 brownie points for using the word “dystopian” …. even though like I don’t think she knows what it means.

Do you people like realize that she now sits on the House Financial Services Committee … (which oversees the nation’s banks and financial institutions)??!!!

Do you people like know that that Committee is chaired by the near-retarded negroid Maxine Walters??!!

HIDE YOUR MONEY!!!!

Oh yeah!! The country might very well end in the next 12 years …. but not for the reasons stated by donkey-face AOC.

Stucky, in light of the recent Gillette commercial, do you really think calling a sitting Congresswoman “donkey-face” is the best a man can do?

You need to take the lesson from Gillette and stop mistreating people. I find your post toxic.

You should have at least called her a “donkey-face imbecile , AOC” or “piece of communist shit donkey-face AOC.”

It’s time for men to step up and be better men.

Our generation has failed as parents if we have produced that type of idiocy in any percentage. Moreover, she is a prime example of electing the government we deserve. Innumerate, imbecilic, and worshipped by idiots that think their idiocy needs a voice. She is but one idiot elected by tens of thousands more idiots and they know no limit and will only be stopped when the Fed is burned to the ground, welfare programs are thrown in the shredder and there is a massive die-off.

I am with you Stucky. She gets a star for using dystopian in a sentence, but she has no idea what dystopian is unless she ends up getting her shit heel taxes implemented. Her and Maxipad are a fucking match made in hell. Sharpen your bayonets and keep your powder dry.

What is really really fucking depressing is AOC is just the tip of the idiocracy that is headed this way. Any open minded clear thinker knows she is obviously clueless, but what’s shocking is it doesn’t even matter. She doesn’t have to know jack shit, what people like her care about today is what they feel.

Another gem of a feeling:

AOC was asked if it’s possible to live in a moral society that includes billionaires.

“No, it’s not,” she responded. “I’m not saying that Bill Gates or Warren Buffet are immoral, but a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong.
I think it’s wrong that the majority of the country doesn’t make a living wage, I think it’s wrong that you can work 100 hours and not feed your kids. I think it’s wrong that corporations like Walmart and Amazon can get paid by the government, experiencing a wealth transfer from the public, for paying people less than a minimum wage.
It not only doesn’t make economic sense, it doesn’t make moral sense.”

Our future leaders and their followers……… we’re doomed.

You know..I just don’t care anymore.
I’m sick of lying corrupt pedo-ring member politicians. I’m sick of grant-money-centric pseudo scientists lying about warming. I’m sick of backward human medicine promoting fake injurious vaccines and chemotherapy. They should all be bloody ashamed of themselves and total lack of integrity.

I’m going to retire early off grid soon and just watch the whole fucking show collapse worldwide.
