This is about an interesting topic. Unfortunately it is written in the style in which you score points by making tenuous allusions, adding quotations from the right people, and inserting questions that have only the echo of meaning.

The exorcist cannot caste out demons until he knows their names, so now, in our continuing American season of violence, it is required of us to identify these creatures so that we may balm the traumas they have inflicted. As Slotkin wrote, “A people unaware of its myths is likely to continue living by them.”..."
