Jack Kerouac was an<em> American novelist</em> who supported<em> "iconoclasm</em>," a social belief that focuses on the destruction of icons used for political or religious reasons. So, this means that<u> he wasn't a symbol of American conformity but was a voice against it.</u>
He wrote the book entitled "On the Road," which was based on his travel across the United States with his friends. The book portrayed the characters of <em>Sal Paradise</em> and <em>Dean Moriarty </em>and their boundless American freedom as they drove with no exact journey. His book clearly celebrated "freedom" and individuality."
It really depends upon the era but if you are talking about very recently i.e. the Syrian civil war or insurgency in Iraq, ISIS would be the most well-known.
