If the art makes them upset, it's telling the truth.
It's funny to me that anyone is reporting this. It's obviously your comm lol Eff'em.

In regards to the reports, I started this community up for myself to keep track of the real things happening that hopefully avoids the distractions of what trump or his fellow baddies say. I'm using what little voice I have to share a political song that is getting censored. You can call me a power tripping bastard and I'll say yeah, probably. I've seen your complaints.
It's not exactly my genre of music but i like it anyway.
It does feel like chaotic times are ahead. At some point, the republicans will do something so vile that people will say "No", and when that happens there will be violence.
I don't want a civil war. I don't want unrest. But I do want every republican and their enablers removed from power, and the billionaires stripped of their wealth. I don't know how to get from here to there.
Violence isn't the answer, it is the question. And the answer depends on whether people have been stripped enough of their rights and dignity.
Damn. I don’t like Macklemore and now I feel like I have to listen to this track.
Dude I don't like the majority of his stuff but that vid gave me chills. If you're feeling the frustration and rage by the bullshit this administration is pulling, that vid is a balm to your soul.
I get that you probably didn't mean much by it but don't let if be "a balm to your soul" let it inspire you to action and speaking up against this regime.
Youtube link to help get it to trending - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn9EKC9nqU4&rco=1 (if youtube allows it, probably not)
1.5M views, I think they’re allowing it.
It's marked nsfw tho which I assume means no trending
Wow, this song goes hard. I love it. Can't find it on Tidal, so definitely something is up. Tidal rarely is missing songs.
Let's be sure to support the creators who speak up. The song is pretty good, video is chilling. Sharing with the people I normally send music suggestions with
I have been waiting for the rap and punk political songs. Happy to see this, minus the censorship.

This is the result of not opposing Zionism and the crackdowns on free speech, protests, peaceful organizers...
You cannot accept the "lesser of two evil" decline into Fascism. You have to resist it.
How's it being censored?
Not cynical, I believe that. But I'm genuinely curious about specifics. Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?
You have to sign in to see it and it's really hard to find on youtube even if you're signed in. I had a hard time finding an open version of it. It's not outright banned, just really hard to access.
YouTube recommended it to me in my sidebar a few days ago. I imagine the curse word in the title has more to do with the algorithmic suppression than the actual content.
Not logged in, and the first two of my results were this video. I was able to watch it.
I'm all for calling out censorship when it happens, but lets not make an issue when one doesn't exist.
Please share the links, that would be great if that's true.
Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?
Yes, that's modern censorship. The owners of social media get to decide how viral a piece of content will be.
This is why when you make a new X account it pushes right-wing conspiracy nonsense. Or why Palestinian topics don't gain traction.
The manipulation of social media to control what you see and hear is invisible. Some people, topics and keywords can be deprioritized and others boosted and nobody can know the extent except the people that own the social media companies.
The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack go into the nuts and bolts of how people are profiled so that content can be targeted at them as well as how political outcomes are driven by the manipulation of social media, they're on Netflix.
He’s just rapping headline news. Not my type of artist, but anyway to send a message is good. Especially if it upsets MAGA.
Macklemore stepping up to the plate where no fake rappers dared.
Kendrick is fake.
Drake is fake.
Macklemore is the real one.
Thank you for posting an alternative link! I had to resort to screen recording to post it due to YouTube's age restriction.
It’s facing heavy censorship because the title is “fucked up”. Every video to come out in the last decade knows to title it “f*cked up” so it doesn’t get demonetized. But he doesn’t care because people will talk, and it’ll make it more know.
Everyone know there would have been a lot of unhappy people with trump election. The government knows too, expect them to try to do everything in their power to try to contain protests.
