In reply to the discussion: DU Poll: If the US were in a similar situation, would you volunteer to fight? [View all]BigmanPigman
(51,673 posts)18. It's a Pink Floyd song from the album Animals
In the album's three parts, "Dogs", "Pigs" and "Sheep", pigs represent the people whom Roger Waters considers to be at the top of the social ladder, the ones with wealth and power; they also manipulate the rest of society and encourage them to be viciously competitive and cut-throat, so the pigs can remain powerful.
Waters would not play the song live again until 2016, on a brief tour of the US and Mexico. These performances were almost identical to the studio version and were accompanied by a large amount of anti-Donald Trump imagery, including caricatures, displays of controversial quotes by Trump, and the words "Fuck Trump" (changed to "Trump Is a Pig" on some dates) displayed at the end of the song.

What choice would we have? Given OUR threat is coming from within, that premise may be realized.

Sure. I'm old but I'm spry. If all wars had to be fought by old men, there wouldn't be wars.
