Seems like he didn't just stumble into it, dude's been on the right side for a while

heartening to see Macklemore return to his roots. before he popped off decade ago, he was running in anti-capitalist radical circles in the west coast & did few fundraiser shows for us (grassroots anti-colonial, anti-capitalist migrant justice group). movements keep us grounded.

Love and respect to the west coast artists then and STILL holding it down for liberation, like Gabriel Teodros, Abyssinian Creole, Khingz who introduced me/us to Macklemore and invited him to be part of our events and into community & movement spaces.

I think he is genuine, but if I were to tell someone a decade ago that the Thrift Shop guy will outflank the Labour/Democratic party on the left on race issues and Palestine, I don't think they would believe me.

Thrift shop is an anti-consumerism song tho

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

That’s because all people listened to on that album was thrift shop and can’t hold us. Now listen to Make the Money, Jimmy Iovine, A Wake, and Gold, and tell me he doesn’t seem like a leftist. Better yet, listen to his earlier work where he’s talking about cultural appropriation and the opioid epidemic.

Reminds me of how Psy was revealed to be singing metal songs advocating for the killing and torture of American soldiers as revenge for the murders of Koreans and Iraqis before he got famous
