the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It's not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment's of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.

I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I've picked up Iran ai lego songs, they're actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven't found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.

seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.

here are some songs I've picked out for protest for protest:

MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)

The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari

Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

I checked and someone has this one on eBay. $45 with shipping..

This thing is hella loud.
I never can run it at full volume at protests.

Have yet to run out of battery either.

It does have a big rainbow led light on the front but you can turn it off to save power.

There are other brands too of course and there might be better options.

I do have a 15w anker speaker that's nice to pack to the beach or park or something but it can't get even half as loud as this green one does.

Plus the microphone sounds way better than those muddy megaphones. I Used it a lot more than I thought I would.

I felt like a news anchor. Every time I'd see someone trying to lead a chant or a speech id run over. Hand them the mic and hold up the speaker.

(Fyi The gray things on the mic are added. Protect it if it's dropped. They don't come with it)
