I think its the latter, the way she smugly nods as though she's said something profound, she thinks it is great.
It's something a specific subset of below-average and midwitt minds will do. Come out with fluffy 'profound' sounding nonsense and act all smug like they just dropped something immensely intelligent.
Just to be clear, I'm not a professional "quote maker". I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. That being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
"In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence." - Aalewis
The kind of person who worships science and philosophy but who doesn't understand a lick of it. The kind of person who believes themselves to be far more intelligent than they actually are, and doesn't have the insight to know just how foolish they sound. I've got a family member like that, and it's draining trying to speak to them. They would absolutely come up with catch phrases like that, think they are amazingly profound, and insist it is inserted into everything.
And that is also what we know about kamala, a nightmare to work with, micromanaging, insisting it is all done exactly her way.
This quote though, it does reflect a lot about who Kamala is, and what she believes. It is rank progressivism. A rejection of tradition. A desire to be unburdened by your heritage.
"Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you were meant to be”
Modern pop culture expresses many of the same themes and ideas, kamala's version of it just has that pseudo-profound flair to it.

I think the big push behind this is rap music, and especially the "mic drop" moment in it.
If you listen to enough rap, you'll notice there is a huge overrepresentation of the "music cuts out" moment to emphasize a punchline that is supposed to be the epic culmination. In songs its usually built up to, and in the rap battles it was meant to be the power move that just ended the show because no one else could follow that.
Its not something entirely unique to that genre, but its one that has it as a common element instead of a rarity. And the massive popularity of rap in the 90s/00s lines up perfectly with the growing up of the pseudo-intellectuals who love moments like that and imagine themselves as the one to drop such a bomb on people.

So we can all just forget about slavery and the Holocaust right?
...Right?
