Ironic coming from the govt who torture and give death sentences to rappers (Toomaj Salehi, Saman Yasin).

Can we get that played on Fox News?

We all know Iran has many of its own issues, but i love the dunking on america, and don't forget they are where they are because of americans meddling to begin with, so if you wanna point out their own violations, remember who got them there.

Hey! What's wrong with Baal?
RuffyRuffHausen
Well, is it really propaganda though?
hufflesnuff
I think yes, and I think the fact it works so well makes it very competent propaganda. Of course, if this Admin wasn't so corrupt, they couldn't do it. But here we are...

I mean ... is it *really* propaganda if it's 100% correct?

Canadian Liberal and Conservative here, i like the message. i do not like the ai

It's part of what I find so fascinating about it. Iranian state media chose this weird AI Lego format. They make these for the domestic audience in Farsi rather than English with a totally different message—much more holy war, and you have to know something about Ali and Shiite Islam for it to make any sense—but I keep wondering if it's not a sophisticated move to game the algorithms.

I like to think they rightfully assume Americans are too stupid to understand anything more complex than Lego.

It's definitely very well played by Iran, using lego to make it relatable, using AI (whether you like it or not, it is the latest tech) to show they're not a 3rd world nation like many would believe, implying they got the DMs of regular citizens showing sympathy/empathy as a means of subversion, The Israel angle, and that Don's nubby fingers are related to his genitals.

Look how all the iranian women have headscarves because they will be murdered if they dont wear them. Great place, Iran. Yep.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
Fuck America, but do NOT think Iran are anything other than a human rights nightmare shithole.

Trump is unquestionably the bigger problem of the two.

If you cared about women's rights you'd be much madder at places like Saudi.
Like I said up front, this is undoubtedly Iranian propaganda. But also keep it in perspective. Let's not pretend UAE and Qatar are bastions of democracy and women's rights. Or that Israel is not illegally harboring nukes and invading Lebanon.
Sometimes there are no good guys.

There are no good guys. Fuck the entire theocratic class IN EVERY COUNTRY. Fuck Israel. Fuck Saudi Arabia. Fuck the Taliban. Fuck the Pope. Fuck every single one of them.
PS. I'm trans. Fuck the middle east in general. Hey, I guess Iran at least recognizes transpeople - if you count forcing gay men to claim to be "trans" or be executed I suppose?
Religion is bullshit. Fuck every single person who enables it.
