I think the lack of war protest both in music and in general has to do with the way our culture has changed.
We are becoming a society with only four castes. The lower two castes: Worker and Middle Class are taught to obey and administer to directions given.
The Ars caste (latin for skilled, artist) consists of doctors, lawyers, professors, et cetera is taught to think but they are a relatively small class.
The elite caste are those in the corporate elite, old and new rich, politicians, and celebrities born with a sense of entitlement who are used to being in command.
The majority belong to the lower two castes. As the elite caste entrenches the caste system in our society there is less and less room for protest and questioning. Our lower castes are taught that they are in their natural position in life, that they should be happy with the goods and services that are provided for them and that they should do their jobs and not worry about bigger questions. Greed is used against them. If you obey, you shall achieve more material wealth. Ironically the majority of the wealth will never be within their reach. Religion is used against them. God is against social justice and social reform. Those other people don’t deserve what you have! The political system is against them…there is no left and right, only a strict obedience to the corporate elite interests. This is exactly what the elites understand. Keep them entertained, obedient and enslaved and they shall make us rich. The lower castes are far too stupid too understand that we elites could be swept away like annoying gnats if only the lower castes were aware of how they were mistreated. Best not to tell them or to let them even suspect that they have less than they deserve. We can do this by keeping them ignorant through the propaganda of the media and by controlling education. The internet will eventually be controlled through pricing, censorship or laws or it will be eliminated. Protestors shall be imprisoned as terrorists…home grown terrorists.
Oderint dum metuant.
Let them hate so long as they fear.
