It wouldn't surprise me if Katy Perry was contracted from some political organization on the left. Same with Madonna and others. Of course it might be that they fully agree with the nonsense they're putting out there, but at this level pop stars usually don't have any agency of their own. In fact, when you look at the past 15+ years, there have been very, very few musicians who make any such statements. The Dixie Chicks and Roger Waters are really the only ones who come to mind.
In any case, this video is kind of interesting not just because it assumes the metaphors of an asleep society, but because it's totally tuned on it's head. You see a whole range of commentators from those like Peter Lavelle on RT's CrossTalk to talking heads on CNN who say they feel like they're living in an alternate reality. Both sides feel a strong contrast in the divergent perspectives being presented to the public, but of course one is more based in reality while the other is not. The status quo is being questioned in such a big way, that those who fully accept it feel that there is this false reality being imposed on them, and they can't make heads or tails of it. Some may just not have the capacity to question things too deeply, and maybe they don't have the harsher life experience that forces a re-examination of their beliefs and values. People having a hard time making ends meet are more inclined to actually see what isn't working and they simply aren't going to care as much about the frivolous, over-the-top, and often times completely bogus concerns of the left. The new left lacks perspective. They're more concerned with micro-aggressions and fantastical evils than the very basic things that cause difficulty for most people.
