That may well be; but AOC has an extraordinarily well-developed, deep sense of empathy (to match her keen imagination):

The empathy she feels so profoundly for all those “concentration camp” victims pouring across the border and for all those children placed in cages and fed like animals.

The empathy she feels so profoundly for all those students who are slaves to loans that somehow materialized from who knows where?—loans for which they (herself included) will have to struggle endlessly to repay.

The empathy she feels so profoundly for all those Members of the House of Representatives (herself included) who so desperately need more money to keep the wolf from the door.

The empathy she feels so profoundly for all those New Yorkers who, were it not for her, might have found themselves working
hopelessly in simply awful dead-end jobs at that evil company known as Amazon.

So I have no doubt that beholding empty, wasted parking spots could elicit from this truly talented individual, heartfelt, uncontrollable and persuasive bawling.

“…As Robespierre put it, virtuous men have no choice but to employ any means necessary”–

Said Robespierre, “If the basis of popular government in peacetime is virtue, the basis of popular government during a revolution is both virtue and terror; virtue, without which terror is baneful; terror, without which virtue is powerless. Terror is nothing more than speedy, severe and inflexible justice; it is thus an emanation of virtue; it is less a principle in itself, than a consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing needs of the patrie. “

KeVin herself takes up the alternative of “staying and fighting” in _The Word for World Is Forest_. SPOILER: the end is not a utopia.

You remember that line in 6 Rms Riv Vu.

AOC actually grew up in the exurbs on the border of Westchester and Putnam Counties. I’ve a cousin who lives in the same town.

I don’t have all the answers. I am merely an ordinary and normal Son of God.

You’d have to ask the high echelon archangels and ascended ones for that. I don’t deal with the strategic end game of humanity. That’s somebody else’s problem (haha, thank god for that too).

So, are you in agreement with the premise of Jemison’s story, that those who oppose your point of view are evil and must be killed?

Because that’s what it sounds like from your comment at 8:24 AM.

I think there’s a fundamental problem with your philosophical premise and ego based survival beliefs. To be exact, there is no good and there is no evil. This world and plane is Maya, an illusion, or a computer simulation so to speak. I think I described this before.

Death has lost its sting. What do you think that means? Killing people is meaningless. They just come back. I cannot be killed. This body can be killed, but I can remake a new one sooner or later.

So what is the point of all you humans who act like animals in this Matrix, talking about killing things? You can’t kill them to begin with. They never existed as a mortal state of consciousness, that is outside of your time and space of course. Can you kill good or evil when the Source of it all is outside of your time stream? No way.

To be exact, evil and the npcs in this simulation are already “dead”. They need to be Resurrected first to need any killing.

This goes back to the Holocaust, where certain Jewish factions used it as a sacrificial burnt offering to appeal for the return of the holy land to their people. This intellectual idea that the traditions of man is true, is incorrect. The intellectual or rather instinctual instinct to survive evil or to defeat evil or to beat your foes in Red vs Blue, is part of Maya.

It is a dream, a stage, an illusion. Why do you all place such importance on this RPG game of yours?

Not sure about this.

AOC is a New Yorker; and any New Yorker—seeing those unused, empty, wasted parking spots—would be most likely to break out in uncontrollable sobbing.

There are many things that could be said about you, I suppose. But “ordinary” would not ordinarily be one of them. 🙂

So, if we fight we become what we fight and if we don’t fight we get converted? Do I have that right?
