Two days ago, the book "AOC: Fighter, Phenom, Changemaker " was released. I just got it and I have to say, this book is really convincing.

>These women [Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, and Tlaib] were on a mission to give Americans universal health care, to end the deportation of immigrants, and to call out corporate influence, racism, sexism, and xenophobia wherever they saw it—even within their own party. Their politics, inextricably linked to their identities, created a tiny ripple of change, perhaps the first in a tsunami of transformation coming for Congress.

>On January 3, 2019, wearing a white suit, large gold hoop earrings, and her signature cherry-red lipstick, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez placed her left hand on a Bible and took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States. Standing among family, including her mother, her brother, and her boyfriend, Ocasio-Cortez, twenty-nine, was sworn in to the 116th Congress.
>She commemorated the moment by paying tribute to those who came before her. The suit represented the white that suffragettes wore when fighting for the right to vote at the turn of the last century and the white that women elected into office before her have also worn. Among those women was Shirley Chisholm, the Brooklyn public school teacher who made history in 1968 by becoming America’s first black woman elected to Congress. “Fighting Shirley,” as she was known, served for fourteen years, and she made history again in 1972, when she became the first black woman to seek the presidential nomination of a major party.

I unironically like her a lot just because she pissed off everyone around her and she's practically my age. If I could do the political equivalent of shitting on Pelosi's desk and then flinging said shit at Trump's hair I'd do so in a heartbeat. Fuck all of those dusty cunts and their so called politics. The only real reason I hate the progressives in general is because they actually naively want to fight climate change instead of letting it consume us. They won't succeed anyway so whatever. Of course I hate their identity politics crap, but that's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

The heroes of the left are always just empty symbols. Leftists don't elevate capable people, they elevate people who can bleat inspiring platitudes, and generally the dumber they are the more inspiring leftists find them. AOC, Greta Thunberg, Bernie Sanders; they're all just unaccomplished nitwits whose only talents are in thinking up inspiring soundbites.

This is how I feel about the heroes of the right. While Bernie Sanders is trying to fight corruption the heroes of the right are defending the corrupt. Look at Donald Trump, for example, feeding the military industrial complex, enlarging the most destructive bureaucracies while diminishing the programs that actually help people.

>> No.14259360

>>14258744
I wouldn't call Donald Trump a hero of the Right. Unless by "the Right" you're referring to the magapede boomers that suck his dick no matter what he does, in which case you may want to look into what the Right is. The Right at this point mostly regards Trump as a sellout at best and an Israeli puppet at worst. I personally find him to be a mixed bag; he's made a lot of capitulations on immigration and he listens to his Neocon advisers too much on war and foreign affairs imo. On the other hand, I've landed a good job under Trump and I got like a $3,000 tax refund last year, so I have no complaints about him on the economic front. At present I prefer him to most of the likely alternatives.

>enlarging the most destructive bureaucracies while diminishing the programs that actually help people
This is a little too vague to respond to. You'd have to provide some specific examples of which bureaucracies you consider destructive that he's enlarged. As far as "programs that actually help people" I'm assuming you mean government social programs, welfare and food stamps and the like. These programs purport to help people but in the grand scheme of things they're very destructive economically and socially, and they really don't help people at all. Mostly they just create a permanent underclass that does nothing but reproduce and consume, and the government is constantly having to artificially pump up the economy in order to generate the massive amount of taxes needed to finance the whole thing, and despite all that we're still going broke. Programs like social security and medicare are popular but they're ultimately bankrupting us.

>Bernie Sanders is trying to fight corruption
what I don't like about Bernie is that he correctly identifies a lot of problems but his proposed solutions are dumb. For instance, he correctly identifies that student debt is a problem, but the best solution he can come up with is to forgive the debt and make college free. This would not only be economically catastrophic, it would devalue education and make having a degree pointless. Moreover, it fails to address the more important questions of why college is so expensive in the first place (hint: it has to do with the Federal Student Loan program), and whether or not most college degrees are even worth the time and money.

Not him, but who would you consider a contemporary hero of the Right? No matter their job or reputation/fame. Because for every corporate sellout and every perpetually outraged identitarian on the Left, you can find several more on the Right who are even worse.

Salvini and Orban, though both and especially Orban are career politicians they do and say pretty based things

>“If Europe is not going to be populated by Europeans in the future and we take this as given, then we are speaking about an exchange of populations, to replace the population of Europeans with others,” he said. “There are political forces in Europe who want a replacement of population for ideological or other reasons.”

Contemporary? Not many. If you're talking about American politicians I honestly can't think of a single one that would qualify as a Right wing hero. Guys like Trump and Ted Cruz and Linsey Graham and so forth most on the Right are willing to put up with as placeholders until someone worthier steps up, mostly because Democrats have proven themselves to be ridiculously corrupt and insane over the past 4-5 years and most see keeping them out of power as a priority. British figures like Farage or Johnson tend to be in more or less the same category; mixed bag personally, but overall a step in the right direction. Worldwide the rise of figures like Bolsonaro and Modi are generally taken as an indicator that things are moving in a promising direction. Also, Salvini and Orban are pretty based like >>14259702 mentioned.
