AOC, GND, Cauliflower and Progressive Superstition

facepalm

It's easy to ignore such bullshit if you try...but don't try. Just face it. This is a wee little slice of PC superstition: what you grow in your (community!) garden must "make sense in cultural context"--a phrase that, itself, actually makes no sense, though it almost sounds like it does if you don't pay attention. Such projects fail, she tells us, because they have a "colonial lens." Bottom line: people should grow yucca instead of cauliflower in the relevant neighborhoods...in NYC. Though, as the article notes, yucca doesn't really grow there, as its too far north. This really is a great snapshot of progressive insanity: what matters for growing crops is "cultural context"! The actual biology of the plants is irrelevant.

   And, as I keep noting: either progressives like AOC don't actually believe their own apocalyptic 1-decade timeline for combatting AGW, or their really, really bad at identifying means to achieve their end. If you believe AGW apocalypticism and think it's worth spending energy trying to get Hispanics in NYC to grow yucca instead of cauliflower, you're nuts.
