'Love for the people, but the system must cease... From Tehran to DC, we're screaming for peace."

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.”

      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:

      https://liontv.com/our-shows/palestine-action-the-truth-behind-the-ban-dispatches

      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?

          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:

          you’d be much better off protesting western governments

          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.

              so focus on that

              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.

                  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…
