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.”

    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:

    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.

    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.

      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”.

        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.

          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…

              It’s objectively anti-fascist propaganda, though. You can call Iran a repressive theocracy, but it isn’t fascist.

                Paid for by fascists…

                The purpose of the propaganda, is to help the fascist regime paying for it.

                You may be confused because some accounts want to make it out that Iran is actually a decent government because American and Israel are bad

                Every country involved in this is a peace of shit, and that includes Iran.

              Again, how is defending oneself from the US and defending Lebanon from Israeli genocide fascist??

              Your problem is that you consider “defense from the US” fascism, because you’re so high on US propaganda
