there are lots of different shitty events happening, with different ideas/ways of “standing up”… not sure we should be gatekeeping which ones are ‘good enough’ nor is there value in comparing.
ending with “trust me” is a pretty insincere way to finish your observation and dilutes your authenticity.
I think the problem that people sense with the witticisms of politicians like AOC is that it seems a little bit like the jester in the king’s court who’s there to poke fun at the king, so that way the peasants can get their kicks at the king’s expense and therefore don’t feel like they need to actually overthrow the king.

I don’t believe I gatekept anything here at all. I simply pointed out that it’s meaningless pageantry. I never said it shouldn’t be done.
