This is a catastrophe

“They lied to you all” We agree!

Kinzinger has lost it and spreads propaganda further to his many followers. It seems he has become part of the antizionist hate movement that has its roots in soviet propaganda if he thinks "the videos are funny". bsky.app/profile/grap...

What do you think would happen? Iran taking a woke stance because they don’t want to hurt the juws with a brain & a conscience? There is a war going on and 1 of their attackers use that symbol. Neither Israel nor Iran give a fack. If you’re offended/intimidated- show some resistance.

While defending themselves with the use of the internet.

Other countries know more about Americans than Americans themselves do. Thats truly unsettling.

I’m curious if Lego has made an attempt to stop them.

The Dems need a social media presence like this. Social media daily. I’ve said for years that a weekly or daily youtube video with different political guests explaining MAGA news of the day, “influencer style” like some of these famous social media families film to lure in viewers, needs made too.

Honestly I think this is the case because this administration and our tech companies are focused more on how they can control the American population as opposed to improving our lives

That's a sobering thought. What's the most disturbing part – their control or our complacency?

I mean comes from trying to turn USA into autocracy on the cheap and without preparation. Also possibly from pissing off the more creative people in Iran.

Were not doing so great at media freedom ourselves these days.

They and their clients have been winning in the information space for 30+y now. That’s very easy to accomplish in western media space with her gullible, ignorant and privileged audience - especially when there is no accountability or local media space at home.

The USA is losing the information space strengthening US enemies, pissing of its allies and changing trade patterns away from the US. Local boycotts. I generally now avoid US products where practical. Project 25 seems to be succeeding in screwing the US. Congratulations and good bye

And you tube shut them down?

Democrats could have been beating Trump at the meme war, but they didn’t. Except for @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

Propaganda only goes so far. Iran is winning on psyops because it is a fact that this is an illegal and unnecessary war of choice being led by two horrible people who are increasingly unpopular both at home and abroad. Iran being under a vile and oppressive regime doesn't change that fact.

Lego is based in Denmark. Just sayin’ 🤔

What dystopian times we are living in.

No offense, but the theocracy shaping up in the US and media takeovers by right wing Christian nationalists or politically motivated activists may not be a better model to follow.

The strange thing is that the Lego memes work better than the fake AI videos they put out during the January protests. It was obvious that those videos of “regime supporters” were fake. The Lego stuff doesn’t bother with deep fakes; it just tries to be catchy and funny, so it’s more effective.

That's something I've never understood. If the people of a country cannot access social media, why its leaders can? The entire Iranian leadership should be thrown out of every social media outlet. Let them make their own. If their people can't access, they should not access.

It's not hard when we have a clown in charge

They’re BEYOND funny. They represent the inner thoughts of every American except the 5% of weird mentally ill Trump voters.

Is America really in a better position? It may seem so, but little by little we are going down the slippery slope of a religious autocracy.

I trust the Lego videos more than Karlline Leavitt.

There still is Radio Free Europe / Radio liberty despite Trumps attempt to kill it. Not the same though.

no, it happens by idiot

We basically write the material for them. The US has been involved in Southwestern and Western Asia to steal their resources for the benefit of the US politicians, corporations, and Epstein class, not the people of those countries. Iran isn’t wrong in any video.

"The people who tore this infrastructure down either do not understand the modern information environment or, more troublingly, are comfortable with the vacuum their decisions created." I think you're being way too generous here. It was very deliberate, and only used domestic fears as cover.

When doing anything remotely close to what's considered propaganda. There're no accidents. Regardless of the people or government or nation thereof.

Yes, but just to be clear, this is backed by Russia and China and that is honestly the most worrisome part.

This was so humiliating for the US.

Well congrats on the memes. I figured the government might have better things to do, while their schools, hospitals and children are blown up. I guess that's just me though.

It’s an indication of the collective intelligence and tone deafness of this administration

The article about destroying the "Informational" from DIME ("Diplomatic, Informational, Military, Economic") was interesting, but it occurs to me we've also destroyed the "Diplomatic". State Department programs gutted. Staffing cut illegally by DOGE. Questionable (or no) choices for ambassadors.

It’s an interesting view of America, and I can see that conservatives/republicans have created the disaster that is the current US government and the government in Iran.

That diss track one was a banger (And pretty true). What a time to be alive: an Iranian propaganda diss track in response to an unethical and immoral war by the US gave me an ear worm. Meanwhile American media is concerned the US is losing the meme metaconflict. We have reached peak dystopian.

It’s because we lost the real war, too. Power speaks.

Vote for a clown, get a clown show.

Brothers in butchery Monsters of mendacity Divas of debauchery Reeking of rapacity

The US's weakness has always been not being able to understand that not everyone, every nation thinks like us or wants the same things. Yet other nations and peoples see us very clearly.

This is why a 🐂 in a china shop approach did not work. 🇺🇸 should have let the CIA get rid of the ayatollah regime Quietly, & secretly. But no! 2 stupid,old, evil,wanted felons with no common sense decided to use a bulldozer instead of a scalpel while attempting surgery! Winning!! So much wining!!

Too many comments suggest the Democrats attack the US trump’s war effort with memes. This would be seen as attacking our troops. Terrible idea.

No they are not funny.

The memes are very funny, well produced and very cutting. That does not mean that Iran is a regime to be admired but they are certainly winning the information war against the USA.

One of the Lego videos offered the information that the US was censoring satellite companies to avoid disclosure of the amount of damage done to US bases in the region. Sad if Iranian propaganda is better at reporting than our own MSM which is still, to some extent, protected by the First Amendment.

I think that's why he is lashing out at others. Because in this situation he seems helpless.

Iran is super trolling Trump right now....with humor...😁

They have always been good at exposing and ridiculing Western hypocrisy and double standards, and we've provided them with plenty of material over the decades

Trump is satisfied with his messaging to his people. That is all he cares about. Until there is a palpable change among maga nitwits, we are where we are.

They are mocking every American for being so stupid. All I know is Iran kills people like me, and the tRump White House would do the same if they could. I want a world where people like that don’t exist, if only bc they have found happiness in their own lives, which right now is evidently missing.

"or, more troublingly, are comfortable with the vacuum their decisions created.". Indeed....

Ouch!

Looks like they got tiny Peter Hegseth about right.

To be fair America has controlled the narrative internally in ways not dissimilar to Iran, human rights violations shedloads. Interfering in other nations at a whim from the outside its looking pretty war crimey.

Personally I think the US is currently the worst influence in the world doing the most killing, domestic violence (ICE) war-crimes, racism, pedophilia etc etc Name it and the US excels in it. So get of your high horse and deal with your domestic issues before pointing at others.

Crazy times, man! Crazy times. Only one person could bring us so low. Bottom taking out the top. That said do you think they have the files, and do you think they will release them?

Yes, Trump is a POS, but for a bit of context: "Iranian dissidents, both inside and outside the country, frequently produce and share sarcastic videos, memes, and satirical content mocking the leadership of Iran, particularly during times of intense political crisis."

Great videos; however still not a fan of it's creators... all current leaders involved in this conflict need to be replaced with more moderate people.

They’re the only thing telling the truth right now.

I smell Russian propaganda advisers.

Purportedly a money-saving practice: but also ethnically targeted cruelty.

I’m usually not a fan of AI, but the far-right/MAGA’s favorite tool for misinformation & radicalized garbage being used against them is incredibly ironic.

At least they’re making Americans laugh instead of dropping bombs on our schools like we’re doing to them.
