Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

My criticism of the WOKE LGBTQ " community "
As a longtime independent democratic socialist- not a Trump MAGA HAT zealot - I see the LGBTQ contribution to the CULTURE WAR as increasingly irrational and narcissistic . In their vicious harassment of traditional Catholics and traditional Protestants they betray the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. One wonders how mere sexual non-conformity constitutes a solid basis for any so called " community " ( more like an intellectual, spiritual , and political ghetto ). There really was more social sanity and self-dignity back " IN THE CLOSET " days.
In general, so many WOKE communities have emerged from uptight , nasty ,humorless DNC based " identity politics " . They have nothing in common with the Old Left or even the New Left of the 1960s. And for more than a century the SOCIALIST movement has seen all social justice issues from the MARXIST perspective of CLASS OPPRESSION in capitalist society. But today the Culture of Narcissism on all the ACTIVIST fronts breeds self-centered, petty-bourgeois neurotics forever hungry for more ATTENTION , more ADULATION, as if being gay or lesbian , or bi-sexual or trans-gendered were a wonderful accomplishment in itself.
And I can't imagine America's New Woke Army ever making the real world SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY ! More like making it SAFE FOR WOKE FASCISM !
I also note that in both the public sector and the private sector openly gay men and women - often morally clueless - are not infrequently promoted to positions of responsibility way over their heads ( think for a moment about Biden's hapless Secretary of Transportation ) . Consider that WOKE affirmative action programs ( even in delicate matters of RACE ) too frequently promote intolerable INCOMPETENCE . Time for the president's press secretary to speak ? Yes , no president has done more for the border security than Joe Biden! No president is more considerate of the White House press people !
What would George Orwell think about WOKE lunacy in the USA today ?
