The creative team behind many of the viral sensations featuring Lego characters and storytelling critical of the war launched by US-Israeli forces against Iran two months ago, posted a new video on Saturday that seeks to forge solidarity between everyday Iranians and Americans suffering from the conflict, and who desperately want to see the fighting brought to an end.
“The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a DC think tank focused on US foreign policy. “The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.”
Yeah so… that video is completely true and great and all… but is this video being put out by the same regime that murdered like 20 THOUSAND unarmed civilians?? Trump and his puppeteers are bad (Thiel, Heritage Foundation, Musk, Vought, Andreeson, etc.) but also the Iranian Regime is way worse. How about they all blow up each other, so the People can finally have their revolution?
Mossad and CIA operatives kicked off a violent uprising in Iran in January, following economic protests, which targeted police and other protestors. It was a cynical attempt to encourage a crackdown so Western propaganda could use it as a basis for “humanitarian intervention”
It didn’t work but that absurdly false death count has stuck around like a bad smell. Verified death count is 3,000 and many of those were police.
Sorry. I don’t buy into western propaganda. The 20,000 is clearly made up.
Hate to break it to you but both sides have pretty extreme propaganda. I would accept the number that multiple independent humanitarian groups all agree on, which is at least 6.8 verified, with another 11k they believe and are investigating.
Even at the level of the verified 6800, that’s a lot of people directly murdered by the government. Yes the US has directly murdered many many thousands since 9/11, and indirectly many more through sanctions and Musk pulling USAID, etc. but that doesn’t discount that Iran murdered like 7-20+ thousand in one stretch. That’s horrid.
I heard it was 20 TRILLION!!
I thought it was 50,000 or was it 100,000? Get your CIA lies straight at least.
lol ok
here we have another liberal manufacturing consent for the war and thinking republicans are the problem in america
Here we have another my way or the highway extremist who only takes what they want to hear from a statement instead of the intent… or the actual content of the words.
Lol that shit is hilarious, like people who actually live here can possibly forget ALL the Republican political messaging in support of this administration, its stupid ass wars, raping kids, hiding its crimes, and killing/marginalizing/deporting anyone who disagrees or even just happens to be brown.
Do you have any idea how many fucking red caps and pro-Trump signs I have to see every day? Do you really think your limp words hold a candle to all that crowing about the Republicans “hurting the right people” finally?
“here we have another liberal thinking republicans are the problem in america”
YEAH! I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DO!
lol good one
