I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

That guy is a Hardcore Zionist. He released a song with his band last year called October in Europe where they had texts like:

Since 07.10. I no longer want to seek the conversation
Surprise: Even Greta hates Jews
Back then, the perpetrators were gone in no time
Today, the greatest anti-Semites are
All anti-racists, against hate and for peace
...
It was supposed to be "Never again powerlessness"
October is coming to Europe

To add to the discussion, watch out for bands getting banned all the time. The British rapper Lowkey, for example, has some hard-hitting lyrics and beautiful melodies. Very political, too!
