Maybe I'm just getting old but I remember a time when the Time's most influential lists used to have true giants of politics, industry, science and entertainment in them, how the hell has it come to this.
https://time.com/5626827/the-25-most-influential-people-on-the-internet/Ok there a large number on the list who I've never heard of but given the amount of views they have had on Youtube and Twitch I can see why they would be included. There are 2 I have a real problem with though.
AOC? Influential? Sure, if you work on the basis that any moron who makes enough noise can cause problems just look at the Amazon deal. Doesn't matter that it would have given NY millions in tax revenue that it desperately needs to update its infrastructure not to mention bringing thousands of jobs to the city. Cortez set the activists loose to kill the deal because didn't like it for reasons that only highlight her complete incompetence, not to mention that she still believes that tax breaks and accounting errors are real money that can be invested into other areas. The less said about her Green New Deal and concentration camps rhetoric the better. Then there is her rabid defence of the clearly anti semitic comments made by Ilhan Omar. Hell she doesn't even have a true mandate because she and her handlers used the primarying trick to get her into office, only around 15k people voted for her.
Carlos Maza? Are you fucking kidding me? That mealy mouthed 2 hypocritical faced champagne socialist antifa defending gobshite is only considered influencial because the mainstream media took the opportunity to make him a figurehead and cause the second adpocalypse on Youtube after he whined about Steven Crowder, despite (a)that Youtube themselves said Crowder hadn't broken any of their rules and (b)Maza had been attacking crowder every opportunity he had.
