The Cruelty That Is Now Coming Home

Incipient: Needs attention, and research

There is plenty of information on the abundant atrocities committed in the many wars and other political actions our "country" has engaged in over its existence. A very large portion of these have been during my lifetime. And though many artists have written songs against war and discouraging participation in it, or support of it, it seems little songery has been done regarding the actual atrocities (see Peter Gabriel, Seattle's Jim Page and the Dropkick Murphys as small but significant exceptions). I'm trying to collect some such songs here, because I think the people who are supporting the present flavors of fascism would not do so if they knew about this stuff.
