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.”

    FTA:

    In earlier Instagram messages, he’d told us his operation had been directly commissioned for multiple projects by Iranian officials.

    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’s your point?

      What I said it was…

      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…

      .

      Btw, are you an American?

      Yeah bro, it sucks…

      See that? A citizen saying their government is a bunch of fascists.

      1. What country are you from?

      2. 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?
