The more I read about American foreign policy and corporate capitalism American-style, the more obvious it is that we're fucked, or at least our kids and grandkids are, unless as a very first step some sort of re-calculation of what it means to be a functioning society with the welfare of everyone in mind, we finally implement a form of M4A in the next 5-10 years. Corporate capitalism kills, and it completely controls our government (and destroys our environment and defines our immigration and foreign policies).
The limits of acceptable discourse, including policy discourse among our elected representatives haven't been narrower since the height of the Cold War and Red Scare. Came pretty close in the run-up to Iraq Part Deux, but at this point ANY politician for either mainstream party and ANY journalist for any of the mainstream corporate media outlets knows what they can and can't write or say, privately (Twitter, etc.) or as part of their reportage at work. This is why Substack is under constant attack now from the mainstream.
AOC is a clever, pleasant face with a few "radical" policy ideas that will likely never happen as she climbs the ladder and is forced to embrace the narrative.
"The important questions is: What are AOC’s international politics?"
Probably the same as any 'rising star' within the Red and Blue factions of the War Party.

Where's the comment icon for the Omidyar Part One?
Please don't spell hippie as 'hippy' anymore. It ain't so. And I know.
