Hypocrisy at Its Finest

(Maybe this post will be cancelled too... who knows? O well.) Ok! now. Here we go again! Everyday you read the news and there is always something that makes you shake your head. Yes, like this picture above. It is late but I couldn't be quiet about that. As I am writing these few lines, I am thinking about a conversation that my late Dad had with his two friends back in the 90's. My father was so upset about the situation of my country. things and precarity in which the people were living in Did NOT make any sense At all! knowing what the country itself was producing. ( Btw a situation that has never improved but getting worse. no comment) That poverty in which a small population were living in, while all the goods and money the country was making, were going straight to a small group of those gravitating around the Head of the country... Because of that injustice and for that reason,my father decided to start political activism and then later on, he entered politics in his way. I saw our lives, my family life literally changed because of that decision. So, his friends in that conversation told him : " Look A. You can't be a politician, because your heart is too honest to be one" I think they meant by that if you want to be a real politician you must learn to be fake and being hypocrite when it is needed for your interest. But my father believed that we can't always accept to be quiet. When I was young, I didn't understand it but as I am getting a complete mature adult, I understand now what they meant. Seriously, it makes sense to me now. The more I read the politicians' antics, the more I kind of stop believing in their words. I think one of the most honest quotes from a president that still resonates in my head and a quote that makes sense to me is the one of JFK on his inaugural speech

, " Ask Not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country " That's for me summarizes Everything! that quote means for me stop hoping and waiting for the government to do this and that for you. Expect nothing from politicians. Stop complaining bc it will get you nowhere. However, stand up, stop being a victim and bring your skill, add your two cents in the development of your country. Be a proud Patriot. Love your country. That quote is so pragmatic and realistic that if many people in the World understood it , things would have been different. Every morning stand up for the "walk of life". Anyway, now let's look into AOC's dress at the Met Gala. So, to those who maybe wonder what the Met Gala is? If you are familiar with Vogue Magazine, you might have read about that event. It is a fundraising gala for the fashion industry raising money for the costume institute. It takes place in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art every year i think. They always have a theme for their outfits to wear. If I remember this year theme was " American Independence " last year was religion or something religious which I found kund of...creepy. lol! Well, to be honest, I saw nothing about America independence in the guests' clothing. Maybe some stars of the American flag on Serena Williams's dress. I don't know...I might be wrong. So, The contribution per seat is $30,000 at the Met Gala. Now, I really don't know if Ms. AOC went there for Free or if she paid that seat but being there with that printed words on her dress doesn't make any sense to me. My first thought was how hypocritical it is! judging on her position, I don't think she is anybody in America. She is a public figure. She is a congresswoman and so on. (Btw what really saddens me these days is to see how everything is now politIcized. Charity events, fashion , magazines, the Oscars, the Grammys, the Golden Globes...the list goes on. I mean come on! For that reason, I stopped watching these events.)

The part that made me shake my head even more, is when AOC responded "...what it means to be a working class woman of color..." yes she needed to add that detail. O my! They (the left) can't stop using the racial card to make a statement. can't they? Why always using race to make a point? Before being Black or White, we are Humans right?! Honestly, if she was just saying being a working class woman, I would definitely understand her concern. But why using the race to...? (sigh) ok...let" s move on to my thought on this post now. Her dress says "tax the rich" but then she is among those rich attending a luxurious event raising money for fashion. I said for fashion. Spending good times with them which is not a bad thing per say but why being hypocrite by wearing and displaying that dress? The question is maybe: 1\ Whose rich was she refering to? I admit, I don't know much about her. I am not interested to know more about her because what I read so far about her is she would rather care about the climate change than unborn babies'lives and yes I say it: I am Pro Life. (Abortion vs being Pro Life is another discussion) The truth is i am not a big fan of her ideology either. She many times says and do contradictions and to be honest, that picture of her with that dress doesn't surprise me anymore. She believes in socialism but she grew up ( can i say that?) in a capitalist country. and to me she seems to live in a bubble, her world away from reality. To me socialism seems to be good theoretically, good in appearance but please some young people need to understand that NOTHING IS FREE. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. IF YOU GET SOMETHING FREE JUST KNOW THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS SWEATING AND PAYING FOR YOU TO GET IT for "FREE" or free. If someone giving you something and says it is "free" maybe ask how and why it is free? You have to be naive to believe in free services, free this, free that... No it is not and it is even unfair to those who are working hard in that kind of system. this is a complete other subject. Not for this post. i don't know how many Americans can afford a seat at the Met Gala honestly? So far those that i saw on the red carpet are either Hollywood actors, athletes, some politicians... so to respond to that question, i think Not many i guess. Maybe ..not. Sometimes i feel like those "leaders" like AOC who are always trying to lecture us on how we should be living Our lives, are the type of the "do as I say, not as I do" (you know..like that royal couple living somewhere in California) and it literally exhausts me That hypocrisy exhauts me but what can we do? Mostly those of the Left know how to...you know? do it. At the end of the day, we should choose what and who to Listen to. Our children need to know what is right, what is true, what is important. Maybe before judging one should be curious to know what is AOC's net worth? How much does she make as a congress woman? I don't know...just some questions to have. Tell me what you think about it? I might be wrong but to me that's hypocrisy at its finest.
