As a democratic socialist I find it quite ironic that WOKE liberal Democrats fulminate against GUN VIOLENCE and HATE and then show up starry eyed for the latest jingoistic Electric Boat nuclear sub launching ceremony . It seems that the NICE people in " Our democracy " can incinerate MILLIONS instantly but without any wicked HATE in their hearts ! I think professional psychiatrists call this COMPARTMENTALIZED thinking . Or if you work for the DEFENSE Department ,you might call it " departmentalized thinking ". American sociologist C. Wright Mills said that the military mind excelled at " crackpot realism ". The best way to stop INFLATION ? Junk the Pentagon War Crimes Machine !
