Realizing that she made a valid point, and being unable to control herself, Congresswoman-Elect Ocasio-Cortez had to Tweet something stupid.

So I’ve decided to take others along with me on IG as I learn what self-care even means and why it’s important.

Feel free to comment here & share any resources or suggestions that have been helpful to you ⬇️

She has to politicize “self-care.”

Her followers had to double down on this “I can’t treat myself because victimhood.”

A lot of female self-care is likewise ridiculed. A man going for a beer is deemed socially acceptable. A woman getting a manicure is vain and wasting money on frivolous things.

This is one of those issues that for majority of people isn’t political.  If you want a spa day, take a spa day.

Why is AOC making it political?

Back in 2014, the EU declared the right to take a vacation and to travel for vacation, a human right.  Like the EU human right to health care, that means that governments have to pay for it.

An overseas holiday used to be thought of as a reward for a year’s hard work. Now Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right and pensioners, youths and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidized by the taxpayer.

Under the scheme, British pensioners could be given cut-price trips to Spain, while Greek teenagers could be taken around disused mills in Manchester to experience the cultural diversity of Europe.

This is why the politicization of “self-care” is important to AOC.

If you want a spa day and can afford a spa day, it’s your money, you can do what you want.

What happens when you can’t afford a spa day?  I have a feeling AOC is going to propose subsidized “self-care,” so if you can’t afford a spa day, the tax payers will foot the bill for your spa day.

We will be fed a line about how much the working poor work and how they have the least time and money for self-care and if we the American public don’t subsidize their self-care we are abusing them, and it’s racist and sexist since the working poor is overwhelmingly women and POC.

You can hear it now, can’t you?

I can just about guarantee that she will bring up some sort of subsidized self-care or vacation program during her tenure.
