Im Gen Z and have been listening to a lot of Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger recently, its insane how much these songs become more more relevant by the day! Law is their weapon and treason is their cry! You can stop them if you try!

@@kommi7658 I don't believe in Gen Z or any gen, but good to know you're not all dumb, haha. I don't follow my generational notation they tried to tag us with, and neither should you, but there is hope if young people are still listening to stuff like this.

No, he was an activist.

Negative critical thinking skills.

@@MouldMadeMind Check your enternal mold levels recently? I know your indoor mold causing condition are low enough for your laptop has not shorted out. The internal mold is affecting your mind.

@@tufur08 you thought that was such a good comeback, didn't you? Afterall you made it thrice in a row in the same comment. Such a triggered little snowflake.

Crazy how many moral panics the elites can make you have before you turn on them.

you learned nothing from this song

@@zebbridgman1805 What did you learn in school today? I learned that boys can be girls and girls can be boys I learned that men can get pregnant I learned that no one knows for sure what a woman is That's what the teacher said to me.

​@@zebbridgman1805Honestly, this is a good song to just criticize how easy it is to manipulate school agendas, so this is kinda valid

​@@Zwei4815Spoken like someone whose children don't talk to them.

​​@@Zwei4815 it's absurd how easy it is for the elites to make up enemies for you. Your lot is literally falling over itself trying to turn an anti-goverment song into a another vehicle for your moral panics.

Is that true? Where are you chatting from?

Tom's songs slap, every song.

Thats a lot Where are you chatting from?

Honestly, it's crazy how normalized war is here in the US. Like we straight up inspire our children to fight, which isnt entirely bad, but we're not the proud patriotic defenders of liberty and freedom when we're recklessly murdering civilians left and right

Where are you chatting from?

Which of course means weapons and pharmaceutical/healthcare corporations should be nationalized. Correct?

Well its actually a Tom Paxton song...Pete just covered it and made it part of his repertoire. Ahead of his time except that instead it was Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Grenada (!!), Bosnia-Herzegovina, Panama, Chile, Ukraine, etc. It was a pretty safe bet that US militarism wouldn't end in SE Asia.

Archie Bunker talked about the Draft and how you could not say no. Because of course you would say no. You don't want to die. You don't want to kill. But, your country needs you. Your country calls you. YOU GO. It's a duty. He was right. And his friend talked about how his son went and how he wished he hadn't. The whole thing was such a waste of life and possibly a complete overstep of the bounds of the nation and the government to make war. I'll be honest like he was, I'm thinkin about it still and I'll probably never figure it out because I'll never know enough about it to be sure, but to stand for a country which IS everything you believe in IS noble and heroic. And to have it abuse that is terrifying and a wrong that can't be put right. And it's been doing that for a long time now, right or wrong. Even if every war and police action was justified somewhere in the deep beset stage of powers and consequences which move the world, the lies that call for sacrifice are too old and too full of poison.
