it's because music industry is kissing the asses of jews and pledging allegiance

criticizing trump is tantamount to criticizing israel, and it leads to criticizing industry heavyweights

you know what happened shit to artists rebelled against music industry in recent years

She is a literal foreigner who came to my country and called it illegitimate and "stolen". She can fuck off back to Ireland if she doesn't appreciate the fame and fortune she found here.

>>129986661
Because people have noticed that "protest music" is often one-sided. Have you heard any of those folk punk "artists" ever criticizing Cuba or Venezuela? No, never ever. Bunch of hypocrits.

>>129986736
The hell are you talking about? Pop stars tend to be liberal/progressive and highly anti-Trump.

>>129986736
There is a theory that the Jewish-dominated media of the US in the 1960's and 70's used Vietnam as a tool to reduce the power of the old WASP political establishment (and also overthrow Nixon). Since Jewish power currently supports the overthrow of the Iranian regime, it will not sponsor anti-war media in any of the channels it controls. That includes popular music. This used to be a fringe theory, but certain 'alt-left'/Marxist-adjacent sources have been mentioning these kinds of ideas after Gaza/Iran.

>>129986661
the record labels support the iran war, so theyre not going to promote anti-israel messaging

>>129986810
criticizing trump isnt the same as criticizing israel. iran war is primarily an israeli war

>>129986933
>>129986928
There’s no evidence the labels support the war. Also, Billie and Finneas have defied their label in the past.

There's no draft now unlike Vietnam. That's all it is, really.

>>129986661
Protest music had the value of novelty back then because it was new and hadn't been done before. Today it's corny and doesn't impress anyone.

>>129986784
There was counter-protest music in the 60s that had a right-leaning message, it was mostly from the country music scene, songs like "Okie From Muskogee" and "One's On The Way."

>>129986810
>Pop stars tend to be liberal/progressive and highly anti-Trump
Pop stars have no beliefs of their own except to reflect the views of the record label.

Because Trump is winning. Its a military plan that been in the making for easily more than 20 years, if Kamala won it would have been Kamala. Nobody could have changed the fate of the Radical Islamist Regime of Iran. They say Death To America and the Jews. They fund most islamic terrorist groups in the world with their oil money because they believe Jihad is life highest calling it says in the Quoran that Allah likes war and imposing slavery on the conquered non believers the most. This disturbs global trade. We aint having it so we killed their Cleric Dictator. Until they run out of enough zealots this will end. They are importing them from Afganistan now.
They attract them with prostitutes but Islamic prostitutes work different they arrange a temporal marriage lol

>>129987343
The war was on the cards for more than 20 years easier regardless of Republican or Democrat president
Yes, its for Jews and Oil Tycoons it just happens to benefit the part of Iran that is sick of religious rule. USA is eventually going to feed them and arm them and there will be civil war in Iran. Then Reza Palavi will get installed in. Done.

>>129986661
The main reason “Middle America” (Trump’s supporter base) opposes the Iran War isn’t because they’re afraid of their 20-something sons and daughters being sent to war but because they’re concerned about the price of gas going up. That’s it. They voted for Trump because they wanted him to lower the cost of living. How do you make anti-war music when the message isn’t “we’re being sent to die for empire” but “I can’t afford to fill up my car at the pump”?

>>129986661
Protesting the war is anti-semitic.

Plus the entire West, not just the USA is vastly more non white and of many different ethnicities than it was in the 1960's. The real story is what happens in about 20 years when the West has nearly run out of white Gentiles to command troops and white sons to take the forward front lines. The different ethnicities don't get along except on propaganda posters. That will also cause trouble at home as the different races begin to get numerous enough to enforce their own ideas of how society should work. The music we might get out of such a chaotic society could be interesting but it won't have much to do with white Imperialism. That ideology stopped breeding a very long time ago.

What's missing in your analysis is that America in the 21st century lacks a monoculture. In decades past, all Americans received all their information through very controlled media outlets. Everything from broadcast to print was filtered through a handful of cultural elites selecting exactly what the American public could see, hear and consume, and when impressionable people are blitzed with images and footage of war, reports of atrocities, police brutality and other assorted phenomena, so they're going to react and speak up with opinions based on the information they received. In the age of the Internet, monoculture has gone the way of the Dodo, and everyone has a contrary take on just about any subject matter. It's hard to deliver protest music to a world that's not even reading from the same page.

>>129987446
She stopped being political after she got a top 10 Billboard hit and began doing brand deals.

>>129987697
I don't know about that. When the media told Americans to riot over Fentanyl Floyd, they did, to the point where dozens of people died. The media can still start or end protests at will, at least in the US. Plenty of musicians chimed in on behalf of #BLM, and the media amplified them. Not so with the Iran war, even though the Iran war is obviously several orders of magnitude more meaningful and significant than Fentanyl Floyd.

>>129987724
The riots happened largely because Americans were under strict COVID lockdowns for two months that consequently drove them absolutely insane. The economy also went into freefall with millions of jobs lost and worse. It didn't take much to set Americans off at that point.

Social media had also thoroughly deplatformed, demonetized and censored the right apart from a handful of GOP influencers, and with the right fragmented post-Charlottesville and subsequently infighting, none of them were in any position to even supply a coherent counternarrative to the one presented by the media, much less mount an opposition. With millions of Americans jobless and eager to lash out, they were given a blank check courtesy of the media. The American left, with the help of liberal elites, rarely enjoyed a period of free rein this obvious. Even those who defended their neighborhoods would be put on trial.

>>129987724
Not new. The Spanish-American War happened because Hearst and Pulitzer wanted to sell newspapers so they ginned up fake headlines about Spanish barbarities to enrage the sheeple into demanding war.

>>129986661
"Protest music" is like protest marches, it only exists when the rich jewish leftists donors and NGOs cut the checks for it. It's not happening this time because they also want this war. That it's Trump in charge right now and not a Democrat works even better for them because it means he'll get all the blame for the war rather than the Dems. The general public is too stupid to remember that the Democrats pretty much handed the election to Trump on a silver platter because they were also too cowardly and owned by the zionist lobby to stand up to Israel.

>>129988204
We did have protest music during the Iraq War, which Jews largely supported, because Iraq was an instance where the US was deploying thousands of troops to occupy Iraq indefinitely. The chances of Trump sending loads of boots on the ground to Iran are less than zero.

>>129987762
>The riots happened largely because Americans were under strict COVID lockdowns for two months that consequently drove them absolutely insane.
The Summer of Floyd had little to do with COVID. 2020 was an election year and BLM riots had been part of the Democrats' election year playbook since Ferguson in 2014.

>>129986661
Someone show Fantano this thread. I want his personal take on this subject.

>>129988214
The difference between then and now is that Israel's approval ratings are now utterly dismal with everyone younger than the boomers and it's just going to keep getting worse. Israel has lost their minds and they're trying to squeeze in all their dream wars while they still have any significant public support in western countries at all. With Iraq, the donor class clearly felt like they could play both sides and pretend to be against it in the media because the general public was still naive about Israel and its influence on our politics at the time. Whereas today I don't see them being willing to risk funding any anti-war media that might make Trump backpedal away from the war to salvage his own image.

The gaza genocide has sparked some music, hinds hall by macklemore comes to mind. Iran has also been pushing their own music using their A.I lego videos. Instead of laminating about being sent to die for empire people sit at home and root for empire to die. So you thats a very good development and great opportunity. So I don't think we need good songs, we need to create a concrete post U.S empire foreign policy to give to propagate among the masses. For once uncheck imperialisms is not just a given anymore. The U.S isn't able to export the domestic cost of imperialisms through drones and special forces. A draft would just accelerate this.

Less than 25% of Americans say they support Trump's actions in Iran.

Compare that to how 40% of Americans supported the Vietnam War at its lowest.

There is no reason why explicitly anti-war pop songs by established pop artists couldn't become successful and chart highly even without an industry push.

>>129988214
>The chances of Trump sending loads of boots on the ground to Iran are less than zero.
Trump says Iran is willing to make a deal with him since the blockade is working. He knows what he's doing. He's playing the Iran situation according to The Art of the Deal.

Another thing I forgot to add: music isn't half as profitable as it used to be. Unless you got the distribution channels, paid media appearances and ample merchandising, you aren't going to make shit off album sales alone or make that much of an impact politically. Bruce Springsteen who has a massive reach was only able to preach to his own choir with his song about Minneapolis. Yes, it has roughly 3.5 million streams, but it isn't moving the needle politically or culturally.

>>129988312
Look what the industry did to Kanye. They'll do the same to any artist who steps out of line and criticizes this war, and it'll be insurmountable for the majority of artists who don't have the wealth, fame and rabid fanbase that Kanye already had beforehand.

Kanye just performed two sold-out shows in LA in front of 80,000 people. The only reason BULLY underperformed is because it was a mid-tier album full of AI. Ye clearly has autistic burnout. You can't blame "the Jews" for this.

>>129986661
>wanting political music from Billie Eilish
She's dumb as a rock and 2014 Tumblr girls were smarter and more politically-aware than her.

>>129988390
Kanye was one of the richest artists on the planet before the blacklisting and has one of the most devoted, entrenched fanbases in music. That's why he can still make it work on his own after the industry blacklisted him.
Your average artist or band stuck in a 360 deal, not even owning their own publishing, with a tepid fanbase that can easily drop them for the next new thing, would not be able to endure even half of what Kanye did. It would completely destroy their career. So even if they're against the war, they're not going to risk what is already a tenuous gig in the best of times just to write an anti-war song about a war that the vast majority of Americans already hate without their input.

>>129988448
What makes you assume being against the Iran War will get an artist blacklisted? If you're going to pull the "LABELS ARE OWNED BY EVIL JEWISH ZIONISTS" do realize Kehlani was outspoken for Palestine all last year and her career not only recovered from the criticism but went into overdrive (she has a top 10 Billboard hit and won two Grammys).

>>129986661

The reason we don't have protest music anymore is because the protest music of the 60s was a response to the draft you idiots. There is currently no draft, Trump's shit in Iran is being fought with a volunteer military force who wants to be there. That's it. It's really not more complicated than that. We don't need to here your dumb fucking armchair analysis

>>129989015
That's literally what OP was saying. America doesn't do the draft anymore, it funds proxy armies from the local population and sends them to do their dirty work. That's what Trump and Bibi were thinking about doing with the Kurds in Iran.

>>129989171
OP went on some weird diatribe about politics and the 1960s. It's just because we don't have a draft. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that. I guess you could also argue that Zoomers really don't have any positions to defend because they're all sheltered and don't go outside, so their opinions are formed by living vicariously through other people on the internet, and without any of that firsthand experience, their outrage is just reduced to performative activism and doomerposting

It wasn't part of the "left/right" psyop. People decided that they were not going to die for the war industry. If there was a draft you may see protest, but you ate not going to see a mainstream artist stand up without record company problems. All media and record companies are owned by the same cabal. Try to put anything bon any platform and you will be banned or shadow banned. All true dissent is smashed and heavily propagandized as a great evil. The "left and right" have been the tools of the same internationalist, one world corporate beast for many decades. No musican is going to fight that beast unscathed.

You are ignoring the facts if you think the COVID lockdowns were inconsequential to the 2020 riots. They most certainly were. 20 million out of work, an unemployment rate unseen since the Great Depression and an economy in freefall primed people for just about anything. Let's compare the 1992 LA riots and 2014-2015 BLM riots (Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner). All of those received national media attention and nationwide protests, but the civil unrest/riots were largely contained in the cities where the precipitating events occurred. George Floyd's 2020 riots sparked nationwide civil unrest with similar cases like the Jacob Blake case sparking their own unrest. Without the lockdowns and unemployment, the riots would've been contained exactly to Minneapolis with possible nationwide protests but not a fraction as destructive as the 2020 riots were.

>>129989785
I'm more than aware that every generation thinks they're year 0. The point being is that protest music as it exists today lacks the necessary conditions for it to have any weight.

Joe Hill and Víctor Jara were literally martyred for making protest songs.

What will happen to Billie and Kehlani when they do the same? Right, they’ll get called “stunning” and “brave” by white liberals. Maybe they’ll get a bit of criticism from the right but nothing close to outright persecution. Not a single musician has ever been killed for speaking out against Israel.

Protest music is almost universally shit because it cares more about the message than actually sounding good. It's the same reason political comedy is shit because the comedian is looking for applause rather than laughter.

>>129991747
Huge generalization once you consider how Woodie Guthrie songs are still sung today every time unions go on strike.

>>129986736

>>129992677
And none of them have suffered anything close to the amount of blackballing that Kanye has suffered for… being an actual antisemite.

Again, Kehlani wouldn’t be seeing the best success of her career so far if the industry was deliberately attacking artists who are pro-Palestine. Kehlani is an Afro-Latina too so don’t give me the whiteness bullshit.

>>129992677
It's like you never heard of Liberal Zionism. Most Jews worldwide are Liberal Zionists. Sure, they support Palestinian rights and some would even be open to a two-state solution, but Liberal Zionists are as much for the continued existence of the State of Israel as are the most odious Greater Israel Zionists you see on the American Right. They tolerate pro-Palestine statements from artists for no better reason than to keep their potential enemies closer and to control the opposition from ever crossing over into actual antisemitism.

>>129993700
And what exactly is wrong with liberal Zionism?

>>129994123
All forms of Zionism are a threat to all non-Jews.

>>129994123
The point was to explain why a massive swath of entertainers are speaking up about Palestine whereas previous generations would've kept quiet. The other factor, as I've previously stressed before, is the death of American monoculture. Now that we have everyone reading from different scripts and consequently people absorbing their information online, people can coalesce around different points of view.

Kek, Kehlani was literally accused of supporting Hamas and liberal Zionist organizations were the ones demanding she be cancelled. Guess what? It didn't work.

>>129994276
Maybe so, but until she pulls a Kanye, odds are she'll still be able to keep her career going so long as she brings in the money and keeps her personal life clean.

>>129994289
Kanye has never expressed support for Palestine, at least not in a serious manner. Ye was cancelled for legitimate antisemitism and promotion of Nazism. Kehlani is a communist IIRC.

>>129994300
That was sorta implied that she's not an antisemite and will only face cancellation should she arrive there or get dropped from her label for lack of sales, personal misconduct or some combination thereof. If she's a genuine leftist, then plenty of Jews will be happy to have her.

>>129994312
Being pro-Palestine and being antisemitic are two entirely different things. The question isn't about being cancelled for real antisemitism, the question is about being cancelled for simply being pro-Palestine.

So far, being pro-Palestine doesn't get you cancelled (as we have seen), so the notion that you would be cancelled for making pro-Palestine protest music is bullshit.

>>129991283

I never claimed that to be the case. Being pro-Palestine or critical of Israel caused entertainers trouble decades back, but certainly not now especially given that Millennials and Zoomers are overwhelmingly pro-Palestine. Those who control the entertainment industry have to make concessions if they want to remain in business.

The only people who are still super pro-Israel are boomers and Gen Xers who are culturally irrelevant today.

I think it's weird and much more complicated than people liking/disliking war, because the 1960s had a massive wave of politicized art, especially music. The whole counter-culture then really did feel OUTSIDE the system in a way that it doesn't now, and it also the counter-culture and the music involved could freak people out. We just don't understand that because if you're posting on /mu/ you were probably born much later, and we hear the Rolling Stones in a commercial and don't think of them as scaring mom and dad (because they are mom and dad, or grandpa and grandma).

If you want to see some artists who have really gotten blacklisted, see Little Big. But they're Russians and left Russia and they will be arrested if they go back there because the Kremlin just wants people to listen to Shaman and Oleg Gazmanov:

Interesting how Guthrie is now being celebrated by one of the most elite universities in the world at a school owned by one of the music industry’s most powerful people.

>The overall American left has been stuck when it comes to effective anti-war activism. The way the US does war nowadays isn’t Vietnam but El Salvador: instead of sending in a bajillion troops to invade/occupy the US just funds proxy armies and now uses drone/aerial warfare. That’s what Obama did in Syria last decade, for instance.

Why would academic elites hold workshops on Woodie Guthrie if the message of his music is so “threatening” to said elites?

So they can twist his message of class solidarity and turn it into woke intersectional bullshit.

>>129999825
Yes of course the Iraq War was conventional boots on the ground so they could protest that even if it was pretty silly since it wasn't a draft army.

>>129999431
Obama was the “peace president”.

>>129999813
Technically that doctrine was already being used by the Reagan Administration--targeted bombings like Libya in 86 and small raids/interventions like Grenada but mostly they just funded insurgencies. What Bush did was a really backward reversion to Vietnam-style combat.

>>130000808
Yes, exactly. The Iraq War stands out in the fact it was a full-scale invasion and not sone through the funding of proxies/contras.

>>129999526
During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!).

The notion that “if the masses knew they were being played they’d riot” is largely outdated. We have more information about the world than we ever had before in history and yet people are not riding up. Once more, that idea assumes that mass-scale riots are the way to achieve system change in the first place. BLM did nothing to change the system. Occupy, while not a riot, did nothing. The era of large-scale mass protesting is over.

Mass protests have always been a meme. They have always either been victory laps for the ruling class or color revolutions.
Elite theory is undefeated. Real social change only ever happens when a group of disgruntled counter-elites are sufficiently motivated to make it happen. The "masses rising up" is and has always been a capeshit slop fantasy.

>>130002646
Democrats do war covertly while Republicans do it overtly.

>>130002747
Because Republicans serve the military-industrial complex while the Democrats serve Wall St.

It's funny, because I remember going to a giant anti-war rally in Washington DC in March 2010. Obama was starting his second year of presidency and we were all mad as fuck he wasn't pulling the troops out.

The next year? Nothing. I went to DC around that time as well and there were no anti-war protests except for a small demo outside the White House against Obama attacking Libya. It was like 18 people.

Here's the real answer:
Race not class is what matters
At the end of WW2, the jewish race defeated the White race, and began holding the reigns of power in the world.
The jewish race cares about its own kin interests. They are strongly ethnocentric, but they are also parasitical and because of jewish supremacy, consider goyims to be subhuman.
The right vs left political side is fake, the left vs right is just a cover for a race war between Jews and Whites. Leftism promotes that White racial interests be destroyed, and to advocate for other races kin interests and jewish supremacy. Every single leftists politics is about that. This is why the left abandoned the White working class, because in the end, its about hurting Whites. The right tends to suck up all the normal people who feel natural racial kin love for the White race and civilization, but they are duped to put Israel or capitalism first over their own family and racial kin interests. The politics that advocates for White people kin interests is intentionally made taboo and abolished, this is called the "far right".

October 7 2023 marked the first rupture in the post WW2 narrative, and also destroyed the left because for the first time, they managed to actually oppose jewish interests. You may have noticed that the tone of the media and the issues to divide White people with changed after that date. The post WW2 narrative is hard to maintain when Israel crime are too easily broadcasted on the net. Notice how the left is only anti-war to demonize and degrade the US and divide citizens. The golems won't do it with Iran because the jewish elites destroyed the infrastructure that would have allowed them to do it via mass immigration and the arrests and deplatforming done after the Palestine protest. They will call the left up to get in ICE way or riot for BLM, they will never be called up to directly attack jewish interests.

>>129998611
He's like those antizionists jews.

He wants you to criticize "Israel" the right way that somehow neuters all genuine criticism of it while making sure no Israeli is every held accountable. Shame they never give such compassion to their enemy.

>>129999526
>>129992633
>Look up Woodie Guthrie early life
Fucking figures. No wonder he had the audacity to insult and degrade the US.

I think a much better question we should be asking is: why is every leftoid (and even liberal) so desperate for protest music now? What would the appeal of protest music be? Why does everyone want pop stars to be political?

OP is correct that the material conditions that gave rise to the protest music of the 60s and 70s don't exist today and will never exist again. Warfare isn't waged with troops on the ground but through technological advancement. If anything, if Billie Eilish or whomever wanted to make "profound" anti-war music she would release a song lambasting the evils of technology and the death machine it creates (of course, she is functionally retarded so I don't know how that would go).

The American left has been obsessed with reviving the 60s New Left for decades now. I was at Occupy Wall St. and remember people there saying Occupy would revive the militant left of the 60s. Boy were they wrong. But the question that needs asking is: why were they wrong?

>>130006028
Guthrie wasn't Jewish but his wife was I believe. I think his grandkids are all raging Zionists, as is often the case (Stalinist-to-Likudnik pipeline).

People are rising up and there are revolutions in the 21st century, the crowds are just led by liberals, nationalists or Islamists (or some combination of those things) who can summon mass support. They're the ones making revolutionary anthems in the 21st century. I think it's possible communists just suck, they've become counter-revolutionaries who are incapable of coming up with anything new.

Industrial music from the late 80s can sound cheesy now but they were really forward-thinking about what the future would look like.

But makes me think the left doesn't really know what it's after. Also a sense of the universal has been lost. In the 1960s the anti-war sentiment was tied up in universal peace and brotherhood stuff, like "come on people now, smile on your brother everybody get together" while holding hands and forming a giant peace sign. All those peace-loving hippie stuff is dead as fuck, here are your 21st century Hindus:
