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.”
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.
Then you clearly don’t know what fascism is, and are just using it a catch-all term to apply to any government you don’t like. They’re religious social conservatives, yes, but they aren’t fascist.
Fascism is a superficially populist movement that is used to violently impose the will of capital and suppress the working class, characterized by a merging of state and corporate power. I don’t think that this describes Iran accurately, though there are some similarities. In any case, their enemies are a genoicidal rogue state and the seat of the global fascist empire, so they’re objectively and by far the least bad out of all the major players in the region.
The “everyone’s bad!” position is simply moral and intellectual cowardice. We do not live in a perfect world, and you’re never going to find a perfect actor. Iran is engaged in a defensive war against the fascist global empire and its regional cronies, and is winning. That’s enough for me, at least for now. We can reexamine the situation after the war.
What?
To clarify, does that mean you disagree that the Iran government is fascist?
read my post and formulate a counterargument or fuck off
Your post is confusing, I’m sorry.
In order to get of the root of the issue, can you please answer if you believe Iran is fascist?
If you don’t, then there’s no point in anything else.
No problem, not everyone is born with the reading comprehension gene.
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
