Among the crimes of the USA are climate criminality and militarism.
Both escape the notice of ordinary citizens.
Today I happened to be sitting in a coffee shop annexed to a book store (not an especially high quality books store) when I happened to glance to my side.
The man next to me was reading a magazine about World War Two. I have no doubt that this was not an especially historically accurate account, but, rather characteristically USA style propaganda of a militaristic sort.
Earlier he had been reading a magazine about automobiles.
So, here is a USA citizen who in his spare time indulges fantasies about combat or climate-destroying vehicles.
Is there any hope for this country?
