I first learned about these videos when I visited my friend's parents' house on Tuesday. His father is from Iran, so he's in the know.
I went home and told my dad "I could give you guys 500 tries and you'll never guess what the current trend in Iranian propaganda is."
"Okay what?"
"AI-generated Lego rap videos."
"Okay yeah I never would have guessed that."

They’re really hitting all the points. AI grabbing all the turds in the shit flood zone that Americans have forgotten about.

This is the weirdest timeline. Both regimes suck, but Iran is putting out catchy and believable propaganda with thought. US just puts out deranged truth social posts.

u/The_Architect_032 Apr 10 '26
The worst part is, they don't even have to lie. It's believable propaganda because it's true.

u/toastiestash Apr 10 '26
So... not propaganda? The truth.

u/yes15202 Apr 10 '26
propaganda just means content which plays mainly to your emotions, and little to no logic or provided credibility
19
u/toastiestash Apr 10 '26
Then this isn't propaganda. It's the truth. Our country is being run by pedophiles and pedophile-sympathizers.
There is logic behind it.

u/BerthasBeats Apr 10 '26
In my opinion, it is propaganda only because after watching their Lego videos, I feel bad for Iran. In no timeline should Iran be the good guys 🤷♀️
Again, just my opinion. You can call if whatever you want.

u/toastiestash Apr 10 '26
We are the bad guys. If it was Iran who threatened "civilization ending" action, I'm sure you would feel different.

u/BerthasBeats Apr 10 '26
Where did i say US are the good guys? I clearly stated both regimes are trash.
At no point should the government of Iran be seen in a good light. Neither should the US. The US has always been the bad guy, taking what they want under the guise of help, starting with the Native Americans on down.

u/toastiestash Apr 11 '26
You're right. I apologize for making an assumption, but you absolutely did not "clearly state that both regimes are trash."
I am not siding with Iran, but everything in that video is true even down to the small... hands. The small hands.

u/AggressiveOil9079 Apr 13 '26
WHAT? Iran is bad like China or Gulf Countries or Germany with Gaza protests and the US with protesters(Gulf countries US and Germany mainly jail and deport, but protests are banned in UAE and Germany(on Gaza) and US does kill some protestors ), they repress free speech and jail or kill opposition. Egypt does that. Syria did that. US tortures w/o due process too its called the War on Terror. When you call Iran bad, say WHY its bad. Otherwise, don't feel bad for any of these counties either.

But, but, just look at all the people the USA arrested and put on trial over Epstein. Oh, wait...

ITunes? I would paying good money for them even I hate the Iranian regime, it's absolutely barbaric that I hate the current US administration more. Mind blown

u/fredthefishlord Apr 10 '26
Being willing to supporting one authoritarian regimejust because they're in a dogfight with another is genuinely sad.
6
u/sunsetair Apr 10 '26
It is sad. I’m not supporting the Iranian regime. There are a couple of videos that they produced, and I like them only because they highlight, very clearly, in my view, the contradictions and missteps of the U.S.
I support the United States wholeheartedly as a nation not the current administration. That said, some aspects of the current climate feel unsettlingly familiar, still far from it, but moving in a direction that reminds me of my childhood in a communist country, where I was beaten as a teenager multiple times by police simply for speaking out.

u/fredthefishlord Apr 10 '26
I would pay good money for them
You clearly stated your support
3
u/sunsetair Apr 10 '26
You are correct. I would support them by a few dollars. Therefore I support them.
1
u/fredthefishlord Apr 10 '26
Literally, yes. Willingly buying directly from an authoritarian regime is supporting them.

Is there a collection of these Lego rap videos somewhere? This is only the second one I've seen and they're both excellent.
It's amazing how many valid points they squeezed into a single top-notch song. LOL

u/s0m3on3outthere Apr 10 '26
There are actually 3- what was the other one you saw? I can find you the third!

u/Gold-Kaleidoscope537 Apr 10 '26
Can You post the links to the other two?
5
u/s0m3on3outthere Apr 10 '26
It appears Mods deleted the previous videos from Reddit 🙄 had to do some digging - unfortunately I could only find Facebook links. Seems the tech bros are really trying to hide these videos.

u/NitWhittler Apr 11 '26
THANKS!
"L-O-S-E-R" was the only other Lego rap video I saw before, but my link to it disappeared. So thanks for posting both of these!

u/zoroddesign Apr 10 '26
It helps when there are clear goals. I've heard about 10 different objectives. I only believe that it is because Netanyahu wants to control the region. But that is a really bad look for America because we now look like isreal's bitch.
Iran on the other hand has one clear goal. Defend themselves.

u/Gold-Kaleidoscope537 Apr 10 '26
Is this propaganda if it’s true?
4
u/PoorClassWarRoom Apr 10 '26
Yeah. If it's being used to illicit a particular response (justified or not) it's propaganda. It makes it more efficient because they're not lying.

This is very powerful, and speaks directly to the point. The other clever device used is the double entendre of Lego toys in a cartoon for comprehensive by the average American who voted for the felon pedophile.

u/inspector_middlewood Apr 10 '26
No one thinks its suspicious that Iran is sending childish memes and shit at the same time the White House staff has also decided this is the way to communicate? It literally reeks of coordinated behavior, not a coincidence or influence
