Is the young girl a reminder of the perilous state of our environment? Of our ancient, deeply human connection to nature? Of course, this is also Angelina Jolie’s style and she’s a boss lady with progressive values and a deep concern for the environment.
In that case, AOC hopes these clothes are sustainably made. We doubt it after checking no mention of that positive attribute on multiple IGs. Except on Raquel’s IG, she lists designers including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Prada, Stella McCartney.
Most research into the rise of monotheism confirms that the relationship between humans and nature was a ‘basic instinct’. Then one God took over, giving primarily white men officially the right to rule over everything and everybody 1500 years later.
The Vatican repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery in 2023, but the damage is done. Anyone who challenges its impact is a communist and should be executed in Trump’s America, according to MAGA Republicans.
That makes this charming young girl a feel-good prop, if she’s not supported with sustainable fashion.
