If you ever needed proof that liberalism has become a mental illness, you need only watch this.
One of Ocasio-Cortez's constituents loses her mind over climate change during AOC's townhall, claims we only have a few months left: "We got to start eating babies! We don't have enough time! … We have to get rid of the babies! … We need to eat the babies!" pic.twitter.com/uVmOnboluI
If you can’t see the video in the Twitter post, here is the link to YouTube.
UPDATE: It seems this was a stunt:
The trolling stunt was a street performance of a passage from Jonathan Swifts satire “A Modest Proposal“:
I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

Tom Steyer smiled while thinking .. “We need to eat the [stergeon] babies”
At least it is logically accurate. If we do not eat up our babies, they will have no future!
Surprising number of cannibals turning up here, it seems.
They take themselves so seriously, just like the menu, I suppose.
Malthusianism is pervasive, sometimes called zero-sum, sometimes just plain cannibalism.
An unspeakable pursuit of the inedible, without even glimpsing the craziness!
Humor, Irony, works wonders! The bubble is burst!
Only one worry though, so-called Asperge- spectrum people are claimed to take things literally, irony being lost on them (as on many here – too long being brow-beaten by scientism) .
AOC should indeed check if followers are prowling for food!
Now who is Gulliver in all this, I wonder, the land of Lilliput? (Swift again).
I went here, where they do eat babies!

Thank you for that. I have no college degree, but my ever so educated friends never get it when I refer to “a modest proposal”.
Don’t accept dinner invitations!
Anyone for a slice of tender young Thun?
I remember my first encounter with environmentalists. It was in 1996, and I just got my first job in life working for an oil company.
We were working on this location, getting it ready for the rig when out of nowhere came these people carrying signs and shouting clean water, clean air, stop the work now. They looked and seemed like a bunch of piece loving hippies from back in the seventies just looking for a place to stomp around smoking their pot and wave their signs. Now twenty plus years later, it’s a whole different ball game. Just trying to make a living and feed my family, I seem to run into people like this girl on a weekly basis. They show up at our worksites to shout out things like you’re killing babies destroying the world. I can see the anger in their eyes and fill the danger in their voices. It’s like zombies possess them with their beliefs, which is scary. I hope and pray that we can get a handle on this before terrible things start to happen towards people like me who are just trying to make a living and are firm believers in climate change but that it’s a natural process that has been going on from the beginning of time.
Ms Ocassional Cortex, a top tip for your next lunatic’s anonymous session; the appropriate response to a moonbat extolling the virtues of eating babies and bombing Russia is “no; we don’t, like, need to start eating babies.”
Actually it was a set-up. Check out the Yahoo article. Ms. Ocasio was fooled but so are those who commented. She may be off base about AGW but this is really silly stuff.
So, clinical cannibalism, including recycled-child, is no longer on the menu? That’s anti-Choice.
“If you ever needed proof that liberalism…”
“UPDATE: It seems this was a stunt”
From AOC:
“Nobody reacted to this lady because this is New York City and Trump plants are amateurs compared to what we deal with on the NYC subway system”
Lyndon LaRouche used to be a member of the Socialist Workers Party.
Then he was a member of the labor party.
For some 40 years, he has been a strident member of the Democratic party.
Not a conservative, not a Trump supporter, not a Republican.
I would expect you would check on something pronounced by someone like AOC, who is in fact completely off base with this comment.
Do not take my word for it, although he has been well known to me for most of my life:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche
“Not a conservative, not a Trump supporter, not a Republican”
He’s dead now, but his group is no fan of AGW. From their journal EIR:
From their journal EIR:
“The “Greenhouse effect” hoax: a world federalist plot”
And a special report in EIR, edited by Mrs Larouche:
“Global Warming’ Scare Is Population Reduction, Not Science”
with her intro titled
“Defend Mankind from the Satanic Climate-Change Swindle”
Sound familiar? I don’t think this lady came to AOC’s meeting in a spirit of support.
Evidently not, but this is hardly the same as being a Trump supporter.
Lyndon LaRouche made a shift from left to right around 1987-1988, I’m not sure exactly when. He started wearing gloves to contribute to AIDS hysteria. When he did that, he was claiming new ways of transmission were being discovered almost daily or something like that, amnd as part of that he didn’t want to touch anyone he shook hands with.
Besides, although is was a prank, the person who spoke up about eating babies was merely expanding on the idea of the Swedish Professor she referred to in the opening of her remarks:
https://www.climatedepot.com/2019/09/05/cannibalism-professor-says-eating-human-flesh-will-save-planet-from-climate-change/
Was he a Trump supporter too?
More than 5million views sure ain’t a nothing burger.
Oh dear, the cartoon of Elmer Fudd singing “Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, …” just popped into my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxiv3CBMS4M
Unfortunately, he was singing “Eat the babies, eat the babies, …”.
It’s soylent green for us, armed body guards and Krusty Burgers for them.
Promoters of climate hysteria should be trolled like this as often as possible.
street performance of a passage from Jonathan Swifts satire
A literary quotation tolerated on WUWT??
Greta Thunberg is right – the world is ending!
Shouldn’t this article be retracted now we know this wasn’t an AOC supporter and was a deliberate attempt to troll AOC?

Not surprised at this. The radical leftist Democrats have gone off the deep end. I have been a lifelong Democrat, but recently decided to change my voter registration to non-partisan/independent. I have been driven out of the party by the crazies, couldn’t take it anymore.
I think this lady who wants us to eat the babies to save the planet is not mentally ill or a troll. She is indeed one of the far leftist AOC type gang. Too bad, the Democrat party of old has died
Here’s the numbers for determining if you’re going to be able to survive
on ‘infant meals’! https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/births.htm
Looks like a lot of people are going to go hungry at 7 dinners per week!
Looks like we will have to consider eating a lot of animals too, including all
our cute little doggehs & puddy-tats.
Who ate his own children?
Cronus:
Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own sons, just as he had overthrown his father. As a result, although he sired the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon by Rhea, he devoured them all as soon as they were born to prevent the prophecy.

Bloody hilarious. Best troll ever.
