Breitbart reports: Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed “Protestant work ethic culture” for the overarching rejection of mass social welfare handouts in the United States, blaming it on the “Puritan work ethic” which she said has a “CHOKEHOLD” on U.S. policies.
“Why are you Americans so fetishized abut social welfare being viewed as handouts?!?!” a questioner asked during a Q&A session posted to the lawmaker’s Instagram stories this week.
“It’s that Protestant work ethic culture and US settler colonialism baby!!!” Ocasio-Cortez responded, accusing United States culture of lacking a “self-awareness about the full extent of its own history and heritage.”
“Particularly the history of our cultural norms and values. That is because raw US history can a) make a lot of privileged people uncomfortable and/or b) gives marginalized people too many ideas and examples if you know where I’m sayin,” she said, claiming that people simply “write it out of history books and pretend it never happened.”
“So now lots of people think participating in social welfare is a character flaw, but don’t question where that notion comes from nor understand its deep historical roots,” she said, complaining about the fundamental values embraced by early settlers, zeroing in on the “Puritan work ethic.”
“Race & Puritan work ethic has had a CHOKEHOLD on US policies, economics & history from the Mayflower to now and a lot of people don’t even know what they’re saying is not considered normal almost anywhere else,” Ocasio-Cortez concluded.
Okay, Popeye. Tell that to the Catholic Joe Biden.
Typical Puerto Rican Communist pig …and that is why they all flee the Island to come to the mainland.
Called being productive in society?
To call her a moron would be overly respectful. This primate understands nothing about anything. Let’s try something that preschoolers might grasp. Social welfare has a purpose for two kinds of people. One is the person that needs a crutch until able to become independent, productive, and at minimum working class. The other is for those with impairments that can never rise above them.
Social welfare is NOT for those too lazy to work, or plainly willing to spend others’ money. This isn’t about some religious doctrine. To make people financially wards of the state is foolish, destructive to society, and degrading to the people.
Asking AOC to understand this is as useful as expecting a fish to climb a tree. AOC is brain dead. She thinks that she can speak about history and philosophy and impress others that she understands something. To call her an idiot would be undeserved praise.
DOES ANYBODY UNDERSTAND WHAT SHES RANTING AND RAVING ABOUT?
AS THE US GENERAL SAID TO THE IRANIAN GENERAL WHO ASKED WHY THERE WERE NO MUSLIMS IN STAR TRECK: BECAUSE IT TAKES PLACE IN THE FUTURE!
