The Machine they are rationing against is most likely capitalism and political BUT it may have also been their first tour van.

I doubt they were raging against capitalism, seeing as how tickets to their last show were like $900 each.
This is a somewhat fair critic and you are not the first to make it but since 2020 10% of the base ticket price and 100% of proceeds after fees and base ticket price were reserved for charities local to each city they were performing in. They say they perform for the major label they do in sometimes in expensive areas and not just you know in squats to have their message reach as many people as possible you can chose to believe and accept that or not I’m not a huge fan so am not enthusiastic in their defense.
Capitalism is when things cost money.
