Blog Post #7: Antiwar Voices

 Blog Post #7

Antiwar voices are something we never really see or hear about on mainstream media. Antiwar voices are voices of people who speak out against the war. This idea has been going on for centuries over people not agreeing with wars. There are many websites such as antiwar.com and American Conservative, that speak out about their hatred for wars. These websites although have a following aren't highly spoken about. Many people who are antiwar are usually silenced. This has been the same over many, many years. I believe these people are silenced because the mainstream media and even the government doesn't want more people to learn about these groups and also to hid the fact that what they are saying goes against what government believes. Before taking this class, I have never heard over anyone who was antiwar nor have ever seen any of these websites. Having to seek out websites like this and it not being spoken about in the media is just because the government doesn't like and agree with what these people are saying. I think government doesn't agree with these groups because they need people to want to be in the army, they put a lot of money towards it so they need people to value it for the coast and also the army protects us from foreign countries. This is important for the reason why the government would hid these groups from the rest of society. I beilve the the government should have the power to hid groups like this. This is because they are not a treat to the rest of society. Just because they don't like or agree with them doesn't make it okay they hid these peoples free speech from everyone else. Mainstream media should be allowed to post content like this and the government shouldn't be able to hid it.
