The federal government needs to fund the de-programming of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Friday night.

“The White supremacist cause is futile, it’s nihilist,” AOC, a Democrat who represents parts of The Bronx and Queens, said during a virtual town hall meeting Friday night.

“Their world will never exist. That’s why we’re seeing violence right now.,” she said, speaking in the wake of the violent siege on the US Capitol by radical supporters of President Trump.

“We have to pick up those pieces.”

Ocasio-Cortez said the House subcommittee on civil rights she serves on has held hearings over the prior two years on white supremacy and said there are programs to “de-radicalize” brain-washed adherents.




But she said funding was not a priority for those programs during the Trump years.

“There are people who are radicalized right now. It’s going to take a very long time to de-radicalize these people and a lot of effort,” she said.

“This is a problem that doesn’t go away on Jan. 20,” said the congresswoman, referring to when Trump leaves the White House and is succeeded by President-elect Joe Biden.

She said many fringe radicals operate in a “misinformation bubble” and it will take more than more than one conversation to de-program them, likening it to therapy.

But, she said, research has shown “healing is possible.”

“We need to double, triple or quadruple the funding for these programs,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC said there is a spectrum of radicalization that ranges from sympathizers to conspiracy theorists, to Neo-Nazis. Such radical ideology could lead to violence and domestic terrorism.

She said the conspiracy theory wrongly pushed by Trump that the election was stolen from him radicalized his supporters who invaded the Capitol last week, leading to violence and the death of five people. AOC said she felt her life was threatened.

Glad that rather learning from the Capitol hill experience, AOC has doubled down on her politics, the same ones that likely had a large part in people getting so frustrated they protested.

There are roughly 1.35 billion Indians. Roughly speaking, this means that about 350 million Indians should be men in fighting condition. I wouldn't like to get into a war with a country that could potentially mobilise 350 million soldiers (or more, if India allows women to serve) even if they're basically going to be armed with bolt actions and whatever India can dig up for lack of weapons.

Fuck Indian leadership might do it JUST to get rid of their surplus of single men population. Hell maybe half a secret truce with China to not use weapons above a certain threshold so they both get solve the unmarried men issue at once.

OK so this batshit crazy spic is suggesting re-education camps. Great.

Pretty sure if she ever did suggest gas chambers or executions or whatever it'll end with her realizing she fucked up when people rise up and she has a flashback to 1-6-2021 and in a last ditch effort to spare herself pain and humiliation, just an hero's herself.

do Puerto Ricans qualify as "spic" or is that purely Mexicans?

To be fair, programs to allow former white supremacists to safely get away from the groups they belonged to and start new lives would be a good thing, since white supremacist prison gangs especially like to get violent with defectors. That said knowing AOC what she's proposing has nothing to do with that.

If a "white supremacist" is successfully "deprogramed", does that mean they actually get to have a job or go to school without a cancel mob trying to get them fired or expelled for shit they said or did years ago? Or does some kid that said the gamer word at age 12 still have to face tougher consequences than convicted sex offenders?

Also why are they lumping conspiracy theorists in with white supremacists? Sure there's some overlap, but more conspiracy theorists than not probably aren't white supremacists. Trying to "deprogram" a conspiracy theorist is also almost certainly going to have the opposite effect, especially if it's the government doing it.

I know (of) a ton of conspiracy theorists who are left wing. Some of them even believe in the "evi1 J0oish banker" conspiracy theory.

yeah but China has what, over half a billion men, most of whom will never lay eyes on bobs and vagene, which I think outnumbers India's by a wide margin. I have long thought that it would be super easy for China to recruit a crapload of soldiers due to the gender imbalance, by promising them bobs and vagene in exchange for military service.

I read somewhere that China's got helmets for their military implanted with bombs large enough to asplode the soldier wearing it, either for seppuku reasons (if they are about to get caught they can press the button themselves) or their commander can press it remotely if soldier fucked up too badly. India hackers need to get on the case to hack the helmets so that if China does go toe-to-toe with India, India Hackers can take out the entire chinese army in one shot with hacked suicide button helmets and make that shit backfire so hard they'll never try anything so stupid ever again.
 
AOC is a moron and no one, not even dems, take her seriously. I’m 100% sure the DMC only accepted her as a “relatable” figure to attract fence-sitting youths. It’s why you see her play “Among Us” on Twitch with breadtuber streamers (e.g. Pokimane): she’s a mascot with opinions that make Pelosi and her ilk seem more reasonable in comparison.

I know the sort. Here in Bongland they make up a lot of the Labour Party.

Exactly. Lots of establishment Dems thought that they could keep AOC on the backbenches (or whatever the American equivalent is) and have all the benefits of having one of the only politicians young people recognise be a socialist and solidly on the far left of the Dems, without having to deal with the resurgent socialist movement that would lead to. They sowed the wind, and as far as I'm concerned they can reap the Green New Whirlwind.

I'm 100% sure that "White Supremacist" won't be a loosely applied term that essentially ends up meaning "anyone who didn't vote for me or my party".
