Scoff at this all you want, but on this point Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sounds more mainstream — and bipartisan — than most would admit. During his 60 Minutes interview with the new House member, Anderson Cooper confronted Ocasio-Cortez with a whopper about Pentagon spending that earned her four Pinocchios at the Washington Post. Ocasio-Cortez replied that being “morally right” means never having to account for facts:

The fact is, she’s not morally right either.
That right there is Liberalism neatly summed-up in just seven words.
“The ends justify the means” is pretty central to all variants of socialism.
This is how a society tells itself that exterminating the Jews is OK — after all, you’re just trying to purify the continent, and who could be against that????
Mao starved over 50 million Chinese — but it was OK: he needed to make a Great Leap Forward.
This is what they mean when they emphasize the importance of being “morally right”.
If the ends justify the means, then the means, themselves, become the end.
Sustainability.
She probably has an IQ of 40..but she is a dangerous idiot..millions of other morons agree with her, that is the problem
Yet again, idiots in the media, and the internet typey types included, are confusing their echo chambers for reality.
The only idiots listening to Occluded Cortex are the idiot media types and the usual idiots of the left who’ll listen to whomever the idiots in the media tell them to listen to.
“I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.” - AOC
“’Truth’ is whatever serves the Revolution.” - VI Lenin
Not a moral fiber in her body...
“She probably has an IQ of 40..but she is a dangerous idiot..millions of other morons agree with her, that is the problem”
AOC has the implied authority of an elected position. AOC can spout things we know to be insane, and the morons will cheer.
We watched it happen with Obama. Don’t underestimate this woman.
The essence of Romanticism, which is the protoleftist philosophy of 200 years ago, is that feelings are more important than facts. Very little has changed since Shelley and Delacroix.
“The fact is, she’s not morally right either.”
She makes up the facts and makes up the moral rules, so she’s always right. Remember, totalitarian regimes never break the law because they are the law.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”
Why be morally right when you can be morally wrong?

[[Ocasio-Cortez replied that being “morally right” means never having to account for facts:]]
Yeah who’s “morality”? The left talking about morality. There’s a hoot.
Our university system turned out this mental midget? She should ask for a refund.
emotionalism + subjectivism + relativism + situational ethics + pragmatism = nazi ethics = anything goes + might makes right + ends justify the means + whatever works is right
Thirty years later, we have #metoo from the left being used to destroy lives as a means to an end whether the allegations brought forth have merit or not.
We’re at a point where you’d think every third person feels their biologically assigned sex is not who they really are and radical feminists are now the dinosaurs, outmoded, stereotyping and oppressive. It’s like that old story where you didn’t stand up when they came for this or that group and when they came for you there was no one left to stand up with you. “The door’s wide open now whether you like it or not,” said SF mayor and not CA governor Newsom.
She just perfectly summed up the liberal philosophy.
