AOC And The “Stolen Land” Stupidity: What Was Stolen And Who Stole It
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (hereinafter referred to respectfully as AOC) has aligned herself with brown-skinned, minority Hispanic peoples, and I’m sure she would also echo the beliefs of the multi-millionaire singer who recently told the world that America is “stolen land”, while living in a mansion on land once belonging to various Indian tribes.
To begin with, the Cortez family name is associated with the murder, rape and enslavement of Aztec and Mayan Indian tribes of Mexico in the 16th Century. Hernando Cortez and his army were all Europeans, who in the 16th Century invaded Mexico and overcame the primitive Indian tribes with superior weapons and immunity from diseases that killed many Indians that the steel and gunpowder didn’t.
So, AOC has some explaining to do on the subject of “Stolen Land” along with her pretend minority status. The word Hispanic, in less “woke” dictionaries, refers to Spain, which is European and not some undefined, vague “minority” peoples, and Spain was one of the most powerful nations in the world at the time of AOC’s forebear, Hernando Cortez, not some poor waif of a nation that was being discriminated against.
When the old Roman Empire spread its power and knowledge throughout what is now Europe and North Africa, it left DNA markers for the resulting European nations of England, France, Spain, Portugal and Holland to feel the urge to expand their borders and increase their wealth, with the result being what is now known as North and South America, and the nations of Mexico and the United States being the final result. The European nations battled long and hard to control their colonies in the Americas, but prior to that time AOC’s forebears felt the Roman desire to see and conquer the rest of the world, and we know that the native tribes in The New World suffered the most from her ancestor’s conquistadors.
So, today we have Mexico, which is being run by descendants of Europeans at the continued expense of various Indian tribes, most of which have completely disappeared, making the claim that the Southwestern United States is land stolen from the Mexican people, all the while ignoring that Mexico itself is on “stolen land” taken by force from the Aztec and Mayan people. One could respectfully suggest that when Mexico agrees to return all land stolen by them from the Aztecs and Mayans, only then can we consider returning California to Mexico.
So, from the Roman Empire, to the Europeans, to the United States and Mexico, expansion and conquest have been a trend throughout civilization, including the Indian tribes that constantly warred with each other long before the Europeans got here, all we can say is “it is what it is”, and we’re all guilty by generational association with the actions of our forebears.
So, in summary, AOC can take her minority, dark-skinned-person drivel, and the multi-millionaire singer can take her “stolen land” crap, and they can both shove it.
