J.L.W Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 ... and by that I also sort of mean 'anti war'. Tolstoy, Gandhi, Molyneux! Perhaps some singers. As in Donovans Universal soldier, Dylans 'Masters of war' and Green Days 'Wake me up when September Ends'. The UK has, at the top of it's left wing party that is in opposition. A man named Jeremy Corbyn who was an anti war protester. Any others of note people have been inspired by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.L.W Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Quote They take him and they teach him; and they groom him for life, They set him on a path where he's bound to get ill And they bury him with stars, sell his body like they do used cars... - Bob Dylan. Phil Och's general message and 'Santo Domingo'. Of course, although they were drugged hippies, the Beatles also were a danger to the CIA with the Hippy Era and influenced people to anti war. Although not directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried von Walheim Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The big hypocrites that come to mind are Ghandi the anti-semitic pedophile and Martin Luther King Jr. the whoring prostitute-beating welfare-state advocate. I cannot say I have ever been inspired by major anti-war figures since they were usually hypocrites or morally dissolute. However on a smaller scale I was/am inspired by Stefpai and the President himself as well as Micheal Flynn. On a fictional level (but personally potent) is Yang Wenli from Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Heavily inspired by the Korean admiral Yi Sun-sin.
