Many but mabye not all. I don't think your can seperate music and politics.
Music is a form of expression, a statement. Even without lyrics it has a
meaning. Together with it you have certain live styles in music-cultures.
All that expresses IMO a political opinion, attitude and can be very
political my itself. Depends somewhat on your definition of politics.
And when the beloved music-business comes in it definitly gets political.

"super-liberalism"? Consolidated are THAT extrem that they get unliberal
themself.
On one show they did some spoof-techno in order to criticize those "white
techno guys". Great!
Where did Hip-Hop come from?! They are very hipocritical themself, full of
negativity and hate.
Consolidated's world is very generalized and opinionized.

why? I guess you are somewhat political and Consolidated is just to extreme
for you.
I at least am sick of those preaching musicians. A good song, that makes me
think, that moves me etc. is ok but don't try to tell me what the "truth"
is.
Because of that I prefer Meat Beat Manifesto or Spearhead! :)
take care,
