Everything I'm seeing says the song was released 9 months ago, but how can it refrence Elon Musk's Nazi salute if it was released in 2024?

Is every outlet trying to pretend this is old news?

Fucking hell we need to start redistributing the wealth of the rich.

Can you clarify what are you talking about? The song was released last week (Feb 11, 2025). Elon did his 2x Nazi salute last month.

Macklemore's been pissed about the things he sings about for quite a while, but this is a new song.

That was a different song.

Thanks i found it, the name of the song is "fucked up" which should have been obvious to me

I'd sure like a *.Flac of it if anyone can point to that direction.

I posted it on c/videos on lemmy world and it was removed for being political… Even Reddit was fine with it on r/videos and they don’t allow anything political.

It’s in the community rules, that’s fair as long as they’re consistent. There’s [email protected] and [email protected]

And r/videos has the same rule, but didn’t consider a music video about the genocide in Gaza to be political.

Who’s censoring it? Seems to be on the major streaming services. Does Reddit, Facebook, others take down links or something?

https://old.reddit.com/r/suppressed_news/duplicates/1is9voq/macklemores_new_song_critical_of_trump_and_musk/

and seen some other threads about it too. From what I can gather it wasn't showing up in search for some people, made it age-restricted/log-in only which suppresses it from trending and the recommender algorithm.

Been accused on doing the same with his previous Palestine songs

All these free speech platforms are so focused on censoring criticism of Trump.

Don't put it on YouTube where you can't see it without an account. I haven't found it on PeerTube either.
