Progressives don't really think of fashion as an art form, so it's no surprise to me that people are trying to put down AOC for participating in the most important fundraising event for arguably one of the most important art museums in the world.
Most of the people in attendance aren't even the huge money earners that are actually responsible for the shitty state of the world. They're actors, artists and models who are at the top of their respective fields, and most of them have incomes that pale in comparison to a billionaire or a large corporation.
Most of the people who attended the Met Gala would absolutely agree with AOC that the rich should be taxed more and made to pay, there's no awkwardness there, these are people who are exploited by powerful studios and their executives, and society at large daily. They would love to see meaningful change, asking them to give up all their money because it's more than what the average person makes is just envy. They're not the real problem, their success isn't what's destroying the world.
It's unbelievably tiring how leftist political activism has turned into simply not liking things that you don't get and see as only vain displays of wealth. Like, what, do you wish everyone would just dress in black t shirts and jeans every day and not publicly show off their success at all.
