Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strangely claimed that millennials are more “informed” than older generations, praising young people for protesting and going to “the streets.”

Ocasio-Cortez was asked by a fan whether she thought young people were “delicate” during an Instagram live stream Tuesday night. She responded “No! I don’t think they’re too delicate at all. I think that…they’re badass.”

“I think young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors. Um, I think that they are more sensitive in a positive way, in that they actually care about other people’s experiences and lives.”

She continued to praise the “radical acceptance” that young people show.

Then, she claimed that young people are “willing to go to the streets,” unlike the “previous generations.”

“I think this new generation is very profound, and very strong, and very brave, because they’re actually willing to go to the streets. How bout that? Like, previous generations have just assumed that government’s got it.”

This is a bizarre statement given the fact that the Baby Boomer generation engaged in many protests during the 1960’s and 70’s over political issues.

The New York politician is a millennial herself, and according to some statistics, a sizable portion of millennials share her socialist views. According to a 2018 poll, almost 1 in 3 millennials think of themselves as socialists.

During the same live stream Tuesday night, the 29-year-old socialist expressed concerns over climate change and the melting ice caps. Specifically, she claimed that if glaciers melted, ancient diseases could be exposed and could infect humanity.

“There are a lot of diseases that are frozen in some of these glaciers that scientists fear that there is a potential that a lot of diseases could escape these melted glaciers,” she said.

“Things that were frozen for thousands of years, and that they’re going to get into our water, and that humans could contract them, and they’re going to be diseases that are thousands of years old that have vectors that we are not prepared for, that we have never seen.”

Ocasio-Cortez introduced the “Green New Deal” in February of this year, which seeks to fight climate change as well as repair “historic oppression.”

"I think they're badass"


The same people who become uncomfortable and full of crushing anxiety after watching a gif...

Young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors... they actually take time to read and understand our [world] history

:rofl:

Only thing young people take the time and read is facebook, twitter and instagram. Dont think your getting great lessons on world history there. [-(

The shit that comes from some young people Twitter posts is really frightening.

Things like traveling to the sun at night so people can land, not knowing recent historical facts like which side won World Wars ffs :lol:

AOC is the same person that, when she moved into her new DC apartment, didn't know what a garbage disposal was. But yeah, her generation is the smarter one. :rolleyes:

What we're going to see (and have seen already) is a generation so used to automatic technology, that if we ever take even one small step backwards for whatever reason, they will flounder to the point of mass hysteria.

Years ago my niece's school server went down and they sent every kid home for two days while it was getting fixed.

I asked - Couldn't your teacher pass out books and use note paper for a few days?

She laughed at me as her response :lol:

Yup, it's ridiculous. My kid is in the 10th grade this year, she doesn't have one single text book.

So what the hell do they carry in those huge backpacks?

When we were in school, no one had a backpack. Some of us had 'jock bags', which were usually made my Adidas with handles and zipped up across the top like small duffel bags.

I would carry all books, my gym clothes and lunch in it usually.

just like this :lol:

My kids have Chrome Books the School passes out. No text books at all. Because of this they "know" nothing, they rely on the technology for answers. Why study or memorize anything when they can just "look it up".

My kid uses the Chromebook at school and her personal laptop or the desktop at home for homework and stuff.

I did well in English classes as spelling and grammar seemed easy for me. Some of my friends couldn't spell their own names...

I find now since I use the net to write almost everything, that little red spelling line is making me real lazy.

Just like a recent joke, I use Google to check and correct spelling :oops:

I get miffed every time that little red squiggly line appears under the words I type. I take it as an insult. I know how to spell, dammit!

So if I add the correct spelling does it stay within the browser forever even when I have it set to dump all info when closing?

I think for misspelled word suggestions, it will only draw off words that were originally in the dictionary, not words that you added in manually.
