With death all around him on Hacksaw Ridge, Doss (who had been labeled a coward at boot camp for his pacifism) shows the depth of his bravery, rescuing wounded soldiers and staging a courageous one-man campaign to get many of his countrymen to safety, even after the U.S. has lost the ridge.

That includes revising school textbooks to whitewash Japan's conduct in the second world war, allowing the armed forces greater freedom of operation despite Japan's official pacifism and resisting moves to amend a law that requires married couples to share a surname, a measure that in practice prevents married women from keeping their maiden names.

One of Russia's nuclear bureaucrats has noted with approval that by organising conferences and stimulating debate in a patriotic spirit, the country's national church had helped to preserve the nuclear arsenal and concentrate minds on the need for a strategic deterrent; this had been an important counterweight to the sloppy pacifism which maintained that Russia had no enemies.

The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, which opens in April, will devote galleries to Quakers who were imprisoned for pacifism; American soldiers who were confined at Independence Hall while the British used the building as a prison; and enslaved men and women in Virginia who sought freedom by sympathizing with the British or American sides.

When Emperor Hirohito died in 1989, he passed the throne to his son, Akihito, who inherited a position that had come to primarily represent neither militarism nor pacifism, neither the past nor the present, but the unresolved tension between the two, the embodiment of a national identity crisis too painful and awkward to confront head-on.

But the erasure of Helen Keller, an iconic advocate for the deaf and blind whose social activism also included women's suffrage, birth control and pacifism -- who is currently taught as part of a third-grade unit on citizenship -- is an underhanded play with a troubling message: that homogeny is normal and exposure to outside perspectives should be limited.

Once she converted to Catholicism, she zealously pursued a platform that included the distributist theory of broad property ownership, racial equality, pacifism, safeguarding the rights of organized labor and environmentalism — a robust agenda to be put into effect through direct support for the poor and homeless, rural communes upstate, ascetic retreats, social services, aggressive advocacy and, when necessary, civil disobedience.

North Korean belligerence also justifies the strong US presence in South Korea, the strengthening of missile-defense capabilities in South Korea and Japan that undermine China's nuclear deterrent, the eventual revision of Article 9 of the Japanese constitution which outlaws war as a means to settle international disputes and underpins Japan's postwar pacifism, and increases the likelihood of a nuclear arms race in Asia.

Faith, after all, drove the Puritans to Plymouth Rock but then led them to execute three of their Quaker neighbors; it inspired American slavers but also American abolitionists; and, whatever else atheism is accused of doing in this country, it sustained the scientific curiosity and profound pacifism of the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, the philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie, and the art and activism of Lorraine Hansberry.

IWM London's People Power exhibition will feature Holtom's fragile drawings among 300 objects that explore a century of anti-war campaigns in the UK. These include a handwritten poem by poet and World War I soldier Siegfried Sassoon, a letter by Winnie-the-Pooh author A. A. Milne wrestling with pacifism in the face of fascism, and contemporary art, like Peter Kennard and Cat Phillipps's photomontage of Tony Blair taking a selfie with an explosion.

The brutal logic of partition, as two new histories of India and the second world war make clear, evolved in large part as a result of decisions made by a fateful triangle of actors: British officials desperate to keep a lid on India, a secular Congress movement that wavered between Gandhian pacifism, support for the Allies and collaboration with the Axis, and a hitherto unpopular Muslim League that exploited the turmoil to push for dividing the subcontinent along religious lines.

In the weeks immediately following the rally in Charlottesville, a writer at the alt-right website Right Realist explained the "optics matter" perspective in a piece called "Why I was Wrong about the Alt-Right" that urged the alt-right to embrace pacifism and battle via popular culture, because "Jews didn't gain their disproportionate influence in society by marching with torches in the streets": The reason the establishment has reacted so aggressively is because we've completely lost the moral high-ground after Charlottesville, and they know it.
