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.”
About that…

If you’re ok having your domestic fascist regime being you’re “customer” you can’t really push back when people call your product propaganda for the fascist regime…
“But they offer me monies!” Isn’t a good enough excuse to work for fascists with criticism for it.
FTA:
So… What’s your point? What were the nature of the projects? Your linked article doesn’t say.
Btw, are you an American? Do you pay taxes to the American fascist regime (or one of its coalition partners)? Yes? Then you directly fund the melting of school children overseas. Do you drive a gas-fueled vehicle? Yeah? Welp, 0.9¢ per gallon of that goes straight to frying little brown boys and girls in Gaza.
If that’s not more concerning to you than feigning moral supremacy over some dudes making Lego videos then perhaps your vision is a bit tinted by a different kind of supremacy.
What I said it was…
.
Yeah bro, it sucks…
See that? A citizen saying their government is a bunch of fascists.
What country are you from?
How do you feel about your current government?
Usually when asking it’s politie to offer up the same info pre-emptively.
I answered anyways, but if you don’t reciprocate it kind of makes it look like you got something to hide
They were rhetorical questions. You weren’t supposed to answer them.
You have terrible reading comprehension.
🤦♂️
Does that mean I don’t get an answer?
Imagine believing the Zionist pro-genocide BBC international news coverage in 2026…
Man, I really thought the “everyone I don’t like is a zionist” phase…
The guy who wrote that article also just made a documentary:

Calling out the UK government for banning Palestine Action…
This may surprise you, the vast majority of “westerners” hate the governments of Israel, Iran, and likely their own domestic governments.
Criticizing one place does not equallyean someone is “on the other side”.
In fact, in a lot of conflicts, both governments are assholes.
Does that make sense?
You literally ended your previous comment with “but they gave me monies! Is not good enough reason to work with a fascist”. Funny how this only ever seems to apply to foreign enemy states and not to people in your own fucking country. The BBC has been systematically silencing pro Palestinian voices and amplifying Zionist discourse, by your own logic your author is a fascist collaborator.
You complain about “everyone I don’t like is a Zionist”, but you do the even worse “everyone my government tells me is a fascist”. Iran is not fascist for defending itself against US attacks, it has the right to self defense.
If you have quarrels with deaths of Iranians, as I do, you’d be much better off protesting western governments sanctioning Iran with the express purpose of starving people until they revolt, western sanctions murder half a million people globally every year since 1975 (or over 38 million since 1970). If you want to look at the reasons for the anti-Government protests that oh so coincidentally spawned right before your war, look at the exchange rates of the Iranian Rial and the effects of US sanctions on currency value in Iran.
The US playbook goes: sanction and blockade a country’s economy -> generate economic hardship for the citizens and insatisfaction -> arm protestors and/or rebel factions and/or neighboring enemies -> invade when crisis happens
This helps the US generate the inner turmoil and chaos necessary for its goals, and the national and international popular support for the invasion. We’ve seen it in Syria, we’ve seen it in Libya, we’ve seen it with Iran before (Mosaddeq), and we’re seeing it again.
No it applies to them too…
I think the Cruz of the issue, is when someone criticizes something you support in any aspect, you assume that means the completely disagree with you every aspect of that topic and every other topic…
I literally just explained what you’re still having problems with:
And then you came back with this:
What the fuck do you think we’ve been doing?
And why aren’t you doing it in the country you live in, but what disclose?
I got a pretty good guess, but I’m trying not to assume.
My picture from 1st of May, literally 3 days ago, protesting in Vallecas, Madrid against the western militarization.
Iran will not improve until it gets rid of the US, so focus on that if you “hate both”.
You mean what I was doing before you started whatever this whole thing has been about?
I could have been doing more of that if I had just blocked you already.
You’re actively working against your own self professed instrests here mate.
Not just wasting time, actively hurting it.
You’re the one criticising the Iranian Lego propaganda and calling the government fascists for daring to defend themselves from US intervention
I’m saying that they work for fascists to spread fascist propaganda…
That part is true
Like, I think you don’t understand what propaganda is either…
Yeah, they make some good points, but that’s literally the point.
Pointing out that an even worse government than trump is paying for it, is important context…
Fascist propaganda doesn’t magically become true just because it reinforces your beliefs or even contains a few true facts.
You don’t understand why it’s a good idea to point out propaganda, because you think propaganda is incredibly basic.
That explains why you keep spreading it so much,you’re incapable of recognizing when someone is manipulating you…
