“We Need To Eat The Babies!”

“We’ve got to start eating babies, we don’t have enough time, there’s too much CO2.”

This clip from an Ocasio-Cortez meeting in New York seems to have gone viral. A woman in the audience says “Your next campaign slogan has to be this: we’ve got to start eating babies, we don’t have enough time, there’s too much CO2…”

She is quite convincing, and I confess that it took me a few minutes to realise that this was a piss-take based on Jonathan Swift’s Modest Proposal.

It’s interesting how few people realise that this was supposed to be satire. We’ve seen this many times before in the climate arena; it’s called Poe’s law – what the climate cultists say is so ridiculous and extreme, that when someone tries to make fun of it, they are taken seriously. Remember the Brad Keyes incident at WUWT?

As usual, both sides were fooled. Bloomberg who posted the video described the person as “a climate change activist”. AOC herself says the woman was in crisis and may be suffering from mental health issues:

Hey everyone!

We had a fabulous town hall tonight & I’ll be highlighting some moments from it.

At one point I was concerned there was a woman in crisis & want to ensure we treat the situation compassionately.

Let’s not mock or make a spectacle. &let’s work on Medicare for All!

This person may have been suffering from a mental condition and it’s not okay that the right-wing is mocking her and potentially make her condition or crisis worse. Be a decent human being and knock it off.36.9K2:08 AM – Oct 4, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy13.2K people are talking about this

Anthony Watts doesn’t get it (though several people in the comments do), and nor does Pierre Gosselin. The Breitbart article only says towards the end that it’s not clear if it’s real or a spoof.

An organisation called Lyndon LaRouche says it was behind the stunt.

  1. Love all of this! Thank you so much for sharing honestly! It’s true that I think “love” & “bond” are different. Love can be automatic whereas a bond requires a bit more effort. Super interesting!double banister baby gate

  2. Thank you very much for your advice, in fact, we were very surprised how different prices and services can be in different clinics. You are right, if a balanced approach to all issues, even to the purchase of children’s clothes, you can save a lot of money.baby gate reviews
